Month: September 2008

“If you live here…you live in The Village!”– our poster read. For fellow Village residents who happened by our booth, it meant three things; a pin, a pen, and a magnet. On the poster, the pin marked their home, the pen marked our membership form, as we added nearly 50 new members, and it’s our hope that the VNA magnet now holds up something of value on their fridge.

This was our first year to participate in the annual La Festa Italiana, and a great time was had by all. Through the efforts of fabulous face painters, Heidi Crow and Jeana Sager, the VNA was able raise money for the association, and donate $100 to the Holy Rosary Church.

Thank you Carmine! We’ll see you next year!
