The Village Green Committee had no meetings in the month of December. The following are committee members as of 12/31/2025:

Tara Barrett Dave Pearson Kevin Joseph McGinnis Joy Glass Jim Cashen Brenda Cagle

Reminders:

  • I have set up a Village Street Tree Request Form. Ask your Clerk (or a neighbor) if a complimentary street tree is right for you. The form can be accessed from the Agenda page for this meeting on the Village website.

  • If you have a little free time and want to meet fun neighbors, the Village Green might be just the place for you. Please contact the Clerk, or email Chair Tara Barrett: hilbarr@gmail.com

As always, it’s a pleasure to serve this hardworking team.
