10 am to 9 pm Sunday – Saturday
9pm – 10pm – 21 and over Adult Swim

The keys from last year will be the one that are used this year. If you are new to the neighborhood please contact the board at to get a key. The key deposit is $10 and is returned when you move. If you have lost your key please contact the board and the fee is $10 to replace and is non-refundable.

If you have not paid your dues in full for the year you may not use the pool and will be asked to leave.

We also have a new structure for clubhouse rental this year. The rental fee is $25 for every 2 hours plus a $50 deposit. Contact John Dale at jhdale@charter.net to check on availability.

Neighbors,
Jennifer Brown wanted to remind you that 3rd Annual Halloween Party is coming up on Sat. Oct 23. Please check your email for the evite and what to bring. We will have lots of games, food, and a raffle. We hope to see you all there!

Everyone is invited out to the fourth of July party which will be held in front of Jason Shanabarger’s house on the West side of Natalie Commons. Bring an appetizer, dessert, or drink and join us. It probably wouldn’t hurt to bring your own chair. The party begins around 6pm to be followed by fireworks when it gets dark. We hope to see everyone out there.

The community pool, which was in danger of closing early, is open for the full summer season. Thanks to neighbors, we have the funds to secure a full season. We have also installed a new lock and gate around the pool that will require every resident to have a key. If you have not gotten your key yet please contact Jen Brown or John Dale. Please read the pool rules that are posted at the gate before you enter. Enjoy the pool!

Several neighbors met and under the guidance of the Landscape Committee and John Dale to form up a weekly team of volunteers to keep the neighborhood looking nice. Every week volunteers are mowing the entrance ways, common areas, pool grounds, and a couple of the vacant lots. We hope that the savings of over $7000.00 will help our budget situation and keep the pool open. We need more volunteers to help us with our weekly tasks. Please call John Dale or email the landscape committee. Some neighbors have already donated gas cards, flowers, and pine needles. Please thank all of the volunteers you see for doing such a great job. Finally, we ask that if you live beside or across from a vacant lot, that you please weed-eat or mow that lot 4 feet back. Thanks for keeping VoD looking great!

The Easter egg hunt was a huge success.  We were very pleased to see so many neighbors come out to enjoy the pancake breakfast and egg hunt.  The kids all seemed to enjoy themselves.  There will be pictures to follow shortly.  Please check the gallery for more.
