The theme for the VECA’s strategic planning initiative is a familiar one:
We are VECA – You are VECA – VECA is us Together!
Indeed, we are all in this together, and we thank everyone for attending the four strategic planning meetings held in October and November. Next up is to come to the VECA Annual Meeting to hear an update on the Strategic Planning Initiative! This is an exciting time for the neighborhood and we look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting! Vollintine Evergreen is a great neighborhood because of your volunteer efforts! Since 1970 VECA neighbors have been working together to keep our community a livable place. VECA’s mission is “to maintain a quality residential neighborhood through the volunteer efforts of the neighborhood’s residents.” Without you, the effort would cease and we appreciate everything you do! Thank you!
January is also VECA’s Membership Month. Dues to the Vollintine Evergreen Community Association are annual and traditionally are renewed in January each year. Membership Month culminates at the VECA Annual Meeting, Saturday, January 28 where dues paying members elect the new board.
Your dues raise money for the volunteer work done in the neighborhood. Volunteers run the organization and your dues support projects, events and the Welcome Center at 1680 Jackson Avenue. VECA receives additional revenue from the homes and apartments which VECA owns and are managed by volunteers.
Being a member of VECA is the first step in involvement. VECA membership is from January to December. Please join now. If 2,000 residents join at the $30 level we would raise $60,000 for neighborhood projects; if 1000 residents join at $30 we could raise $30,000. Last year 300 residents joined VECA. Let’s increase the number this year!
Join your neighbors and join VECA now. All dues are tax deductible.
