Hi Neighbors,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hoping to keep everyone informed and ensure those of us who can, get a chance to enjoy some time with JV neighbors over the holidays…

Jamaica Village Notifications

First off, some event notifications:

JV Clubhouse Holiday Decorating Efforts

For those of you who have the talent to decorate, you are invited to attend and help the Holiday Party Committee decorate the Clubhouse on Saturday, November 25th at 9:00 AM. This year’s Holiday Party will be chaired by Donna Patrick and Miki Kiser. Thanks to them and the other members of the Committee for renewing this wonderful Village tradition.

2023 JV Holiday Party

Sunday, December 17th at 5:00 PM at the JV Clubhouse. Please hold the date for this year’s party. More details/invitations to follow…

JV Ad Hoc Committees

As planned, the Village’s committees were formed, met, and have begun working on a multitude of issues and projects for the expected benefit of our neighborhood. So many good people with great ideas and insights! Personally, it’s been my privilege to have had this chance to meet, work with, and get to know more of you.

Through their efforts, the Village now has the following committees in place:

• Capital Projects
• Color Palette
• Clubhouse/Social/Events
• Docks
• Finance
• Kayak Rack/Beach
• Landscape

Anticipate that shortly after the New Year will be able to provide more insight as to the specific efforts of each, but in the meantime do want to preview briefly efforts to create a calendar of Jamaica Village social events in the coming year. In addition to the renewal of the Holiday Party and ever popular Thursday Night Happy Hour – or three – (summer), preliminary efforts are underway to add several more events, including Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby Parties in the Clubhouse, a kayak/SUP flotilla outing, bocce ball tournament, a chili cook-off, cooking class, and a book club, to name a few. Volunteers for such events will be welcomed and solicited as more solid plans move forward.

We, in Jamaica Village, live in a beautiful place and a special little ‘Village.’ Am hopeful each one of us can find just a bit more time in the coming year to enjoy JV, to meet our neighbors, and to make some new friends.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don’t be a stranger when you see me.
