Strawberry Festival
Mark your calendars for Strawberry Festival coming up on June 1st! If anyone is interested in volunteering some of their time on that day please contact Erin Barrett or Sheila Greear. Some of the committees needing volunteers are: food sales, kids art, kids market, bake sale, directory/VMNA dues table, ticket table and set up/clean up.
Please also start thinking about items that you can donate for the silent auction. Great items would be event tickets, vacation houses, gift cards, services you can offer, golf rounds, etc.
Children's raffle items are being collected now, too. Look through your gift closet and be on the look out for great bargains you can pick up to donate. Donations can be dropped off at Erin's home, 1952 Peeler Rd., or Sheila's home, 4863 Village Creek Dr.
Strawberry Festival is Village Mill's big annual fundraiser and the money raised this year will go toward the cost of new signs for the entrances, which are badly needed. Let's all make the event a great success!

4th of July Veterans Bows Honor Our Veterans 
The time is approaching for you to honor family members who have served or are now serving in the military. This has been a Village Mill tradition for many years. Bows should be displayed on mailboxes from June 28th through July 5th.
Take a moment and reflect on who you would like to honor if you yourself have not served. A grandfather who served in World War II? An uncle who was drafted after graduation from high school? A great aunt who served as a nurse in Korea? If you wish to honor more than one person, two bows will fit on most mailboxes.
The Veterans Bows are $5 and color coded by branch of service: Green for Army, red for Marine Corps, dark blue for Navy or Coast Guard and light blue for Air Force. All bows contain yellow ribbon, the international color for peace.
There will be a booth set up to sell Veterans Bows at the Strawberry Festival on June 1st from 10am-1pm. You can also contact Julian Black at 770-396-5997 to order your bows early.
Village Mill Military Bow History: Our long time neighbor, Bob Keesee, started and managed this program for a number of years. Bob passed away in 2011 and Julian Black accepted the honor to continue this tradition. Our neighbor, Susan West, has been the expert Veterans Bow maker for a number of years. Thank you Susan for the nice work.
