Billy Teeter

The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Billy Teeter to the Board, to serve the unexpired term of a former Board Member, who resigned from his position several months ago. Mr. Teeter will be serving in the role of "Assistant Secretary" until the Annual Meeting in April 2017.

Mr. Teeter has been an active volunteer since moving into our community January 2016.  Sometime in February, he decided that he was ready to see how he could learn more about our community and to see how he could help out.

The first open meeting on the calendar was the Architectural Review Committee, so that was his first meeting.  Since then, he has been an active member of numerous committees to include: Communications, Sports Park, Fence, Public Safety and Standards Review.  Mr. Teeter stated that "attending these meeting was a very rewarding and educational experience!" 

Recently, after a position on the Board of Directors opened, the Board asked Mr. Teeter if he would consider serving in that vacant position. After consulting with his family,  he informed the Board that he would be honored to serve at their request.

Join us in congratulating Mr. Teeter on his appointment and thank him for his service to our community.

The Communications Committee established a "VWOA Historical Research Sub-committee" to research and write about the community's history for the "VWOA 30^th Anniversary," which will be celebrated in February 2017.

This committee will hold their first meeting on Monday, November 14, 2016, at 6:30 P.M. in the Community Center Conference Room.  This is an open meeting and all are welcome to attend.

If you are a long time resident of our community, we could use your help.  If you were a former Board or Staff member, you would be invaluable to the committee as we create this historical timeline.  If you have copies of Association newsletters from the late 80's, copies of original documents of the Association, photos etc., these would be extremely helpful in this research project.

This is an awesome opportunity to do something to preserve our history for future residents.

The Board of Directors embarked on an ambitious initiative this past year to invest resources for the purpose of making dramatic improvements to your Sports Park.  Upgrades include everything from new exercise equipment, picnic tables, barbecue equipment, water fountains, bleachers, lighting, play equipment, and a small basketball court in our Tot Lot, just to name a few.  The staff is working on finalizing the plans for the new restroom facilities for Board approval. 

This is your park and we want to provide an environment where our residents can gather while having fun and engaging in activities that promote community pride and healthy lifestyles.  For those residents who wish to play volleyball or use the large exercise tires in the park, please check with the Sports Park Monitor to borrow a net and ball and have the tires unlocked for your use.

If you haven't visited the park lately, why not plan to join us this Saturday, November 19, 2016, at the Fall Festival to see first hand what we have to offer.

If you have any comments or concerns, please let us know!

This summer was a tough one. With challenges surrounding Zika virus and summer shortages, we weren't sure if our donors were listening. But you didn't let us down! With the help of donors like you, our hospitals continued to save lives. Thank you!
