Dear Villagers,

Spring is a good time for all Villagers, members and volunteers, to come together and assess how we've managed throughout 2020 and into 2021. Please mark Monday, May 3, 4:00 PM, on your calendar so you don't miss our Online Town Hall. Look for the Zoom link in your Tuesday Update closer to the date. Come and... * Meet the people behind everything the Village does. * Learn what plans we have in store.   * Ask your questions.

Reminders:
1) Click here to verify your important Village information. It takes a minute - and we never share your information.

2) To enter April's Recipe Raffle for a $25 Market Basket card, send your recipe to Pauline Derby by April 30.
