Membership and Services

As we age, retirement; loss of family and friends; and mobility issues can result in decreased social contacts. Research shows that social connection contributes to better health and emotional well-being.

In 2011, a small group of Village residents began forming an organization to address their mutual concerns about aging in place. After several years of hard work by many volunteers, VILLAGE in the Village began serving members in 2014. Since then, ViV has grown from a concept to a viable organization of over 150 friends and neighbors!

We accomplish our mission through a two-tiered, dues based membership program. Find out more about our services below and choose which membership level is right for you!

Benefits of membership

Supporting Members

Supporting Members are the “backbone” of ViV and may participate in all ViV social events, including weekly coffees, bocce ball, nature walks, concerts, lunches, happy hours, and many other activities. Supporting Members “pay it forward” within our community with their membership fee.

Additionally, by volunteering to provide services and support to Full Members, Supporting Members help ensure the sustainability of our organization. Of course, no member is required to volunteer.

Supporting Members may also request services from our volunteers. They may request up to six weeks of services for a short term need, or up to 8 services per year.

Individual Supporting Membership:

$200 per year

Household Supporting Membership:

$225 per year
