V&E Greenline Fundraiser

This past year has been another good one for the V&E Greenline. The V&E Greenline is a 1.7 mile linear community park that was formerly an abandoned railroad track and is now owned by the neighborhood. It has never looked better. During the year, volunteers planted trees, mowed the roadbed, did landscaping, improved the drainage, and managed contractors that did additional trail maintenance.

Even though much upkeep for the V&E Greenline is provided by a group of dedicated neighborhood volunteers, there are ongoing expenses such as equipment repair, paying property taxes, servicing the tractor and mowers, and paying for fuel.

An unprecedented number of people are using the V&E Greenline as a place to walk, run, bike, and walk their dogs. VECA has healthier and happier residents because they are using the Greenline for exercise.

In the month of March, you will see signs at the entrances to the Greenline, reminding you “Upkeep Costs Money – March Is Contribution Month.” Please support this beautiful neighborhood amenity by mailing a tax-deductible donation to the V&E Greenline (c/o VECA Welcome Center, 1680 Jackson, 38107).
