Friends of Villa Grande hosts and participates in many events throughout the year, both for the public and for members-only. Be sure to check out our Announcements page for additional information on upcoming events.
Friends of Villa Grande is always looking for volunteers to plan and staff events, maintain Patterson Point Preserve, and help the organization run smoothly. We have many opportunities such as distributing song books and kazoos at the 4th of July celebration, weeding in the Preserve on planned workdays, contributing articles to the monthly newsletter, and serving on the FoVG Board.
If you have time and energy to contribute, please email us directly at friends@villagrande.org with your area of interest and we'll put you in touch with an activity coordinator.
Friends of Villa Grande members may anchor one boat (canoe, kayak, paddle board, etc.) on the FoVG chain from Saturday, May 2 until Sunday October 11, 2026. Cost is $150 and owners use their own lock to secure watercraft to the heavy chain.
To apply, download, fill out and sign the 2026 waiver form. Return instructions are on the form.
