Say Thank You to POA Employees!
The V
illage Employees Benefit Fund campaign, started and overseen by an independent board of Villagers, is our way to thank POA employees for their service and protection that helps make our Village such a wonderful place to live. Thanks to your generosity, this year we were able to give $100 to each full-time employee and $50 to each part-time employee. The Fund is also used to help POA employees in times of financial crisis throughout the year.
Please open your hearts and your check books to make sure that every one of our POA employees are remembered. Mail your gift check, of any amount, to Village Employees Benefit Fund, P.O. Box 8503, HSV, AR 71910.
