SOMETHING FUN FOR KIDS: JOIN THE VILLAGE HELPERS!
May 10, 2010
The Village Neighborhood Association (VNA) is proud to announce the formation of a new neighborhood group dedicated to children of all ages who want to get involved in their community.
The group is called The Village Helpers. The name and idea of the group was thought of by my nine-year-old daughter, Adriana. She has attended several VNA meetings over the past few years and conceived the idea to form a group “just for kids”.
With the guidance and support of the VNA, the primary goal of The Village Helpers is for children to bond with other children in their neighborhood through community involvement – to demonstrate to children of all ages that this is their neighborhood, their future, and their opportunity to shape the world.
As the name implies, the focus of the group is to make The Village a better place to live, although children from any neighborhood are more than welcome to join.

Your Taxes | Your Choice
February 21, 2010
PROPERTY TAXES – to increase or not increase. The subject is often used as a political “line in the sand” for many voters. Putting politics aside, this Wednesday the Jersey City Council will be debating a proposed 25% property tax hike. Regardless of how your feel about taxes, an increase of this magnitude may be worth your time and energy to attend the Council meeting and witness your government in action. For some background on the proposed taxes, check out this article from NJ.com.
