Welcome to the June-July edition of the VEBF newsletter!
For the month of June, the Village True Value Home Center has honored us as the non-profit organization of the month. They will be asking their customers to “round up” their bill to the next dollar as a donation to the VEBF. The Home Plate Café and Bakery will be doing the same for us in the month of July. I hope you will consider shopping or dining at these great local businesses, and “round up” your purchase for the VEBF!
The board recently completed an internal audit of our procedures and accounting. This is the first time the VEBF has undertaken such an exercise, and we were rewarded with an insightful and comprehensive report. My thanks to two of our newest board members, Lloyd Sherman and Bob Zellner, and outside volunteer Diana Podawiltz, for applying their expertise to the review. The executive committee will take some time to consider the report and devise a plan to incorporate the committee’s recommendations. When we have completed our review, we will publish a summary of the report and our conclusions on the VEBF website.
Finally, I will be collecting photos and stories from the POA department managers regarding our employees’ efforts in the aftermath of the March tornado. Many of their long hours were “above and beyond” their job descriptions, and we have much to be thankful for their response. You will be able to read their stories in upcoming newsletters.
Meanwhile, enjoy your summer! We will return with another edition of the VEBF newsletter in August. And remember...
“Nothing happens in Hot Springs Village, until a POA hourly employee comes to work”.
John Chapman, VEBF Board President
