What a week it has been! Before I list the upcoming events/cancellations below, I want to remind everyone that several of the restaurants in the Village are open for carry-out and/or delivery. They are an important part of our community and I am sure that any support that you can give them during this time would be greatly appreciated.

Upcoming VRA Events:

Sunday, May 17: Last week we announced that the VRA will host a potluck at Elm Street Green on May 17 from 12:00-3:00pm. The event is still on the calendar but we are keeping an eye on the guidelines for gatherings as groups. If we are still able to have the potluck, it will be a great opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, see/meet your neighbors, and let the kids play. As with our Annual Picnic, all Village residents will be invited to the potluck. Fingers crossed that it will be safe to gather as a larger group at that point!
