Have you ever wondered where the Gary Hagen (Timberton Village’s first HOA President) Memorial Park is located? Or perhaps you have heard about the view from the Timberton gazebo? Well here’s your chance to visit our neighborhood local gather places. We will start at the Memorial Park with some refreshments and then mozie up to take a gander at the view from the gazebo. Don’t miss this opportunity to be in the know about the Village sites and meet and greet your neighbors.
When?Saturday, August 19, 2017, at 3:00 pm. See you at the park located on the southwest corner of Leighbrook and Heritage.
Pictured here are VMC volunteers willing to improve our neighborhood with their hard work. If you happen to see one of them wandering the neighborhood, give them a big “thank you”.
