VMA Presents New Trial Service: Angels on Call
The VMA is proud to coordinate neighbors helping neighbors. Angels on Call will now drop off a meal for a Villager who just returned from the hospital, who had an accident, or who had a sudden medical issue. If you can’t shop or cook and need help quickly, Angels on Call can help.
These are “in a pinch” emergency, microwavable meals. (For more consistent help, please contact Meals on Wheels.) Meals are homemade, cooked in advance, frozen, and ready to be thawed and delivered. There is no charge for meals.
To request a meal from one of our volunteer angels, please call the VMA office at 408-238-4230. The office is open Monday-Thursday from 9:30am – 2:30pm. A volunteer angel will return your call and ask for all the details.
Holiday Lunch Buddies—Let’s get together to celebrate
By Liz Adams
So many holidays wrapped into one lunchtime! Think about all each of us has to give thanks for: Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas. Kwanza, New Year’s Eve, and Makershantra (an Indian holiday to celebrate the wind). Let’s gather together on Wednesday, December 2 at 11:30 a.m. to rejoice in togetherness.
Sometimes it’s difficult to get out, or you’re by yourself, or you just can’t make yourself go anywhere, or whatever your reason. Then VMA’s Lunch Buddies is absolutely for you! Together we’ll share an abundance of joy as we head into 2027.
Join us at the Clubhouse for an amazing Holiday Luncheon chosen for us by the Catering and Events Manager and the Villages chef and put on by the Villages Medical Auxiliary just for you. Your holiday luncheon will be $12 apiece and charged to your house account. Call the VMA office no later than Monday, November 30 at 12 p.m. at 408-238-4230 to reserve your spot. Make sure to let the office know if you need transportation to and from the Clubhouse. We’ll have a wonderful time with each other, celebrating each other, and eating very well!
Remember, the Holiday Lunch Buddies will be December 2 at 11:30 a.m. in the Clubhouse. Dress up a bit, if you’re so inclined, as we gather together to celebrate life.
300th Golf Cart Donated to VMA
The VMA gratefully accepts old golf carts donated by generous Villagers. We sell a few nice carts to fellow Villagers, but donated carts needing extensive repairs and are sold to buyers outside the Villages.
Noel Lanctot and Gary Walden have been accepting and selling donated golf carts for 12 years now, to help fund crucial VMA activities. Noel and Gary happily posed for a picture of our 300th golf cart donation, but donations continue to roll in. In September alone, these two earned $3,000 for the VMA by selling old carts. Thank you to our fabulous volunteers and generous donors!
