Valley Home Pride ... A heartfelt thank you to each of you who have purchased tickets or donated towards our Community Park Fundraiser. Lots of pride in Valley Home! Last week I received a really special call from a Valley Home resident who was surprised to learn we had a park in Valley Home, and even more surprised she is part owner of this beautiful little park. She was calling to purchase tickets, donate, do whatever she and her family could do to help. Because our community park belongs to each one of us, it is a wonderful source of pride for all!

Please remember, all tickets (and flyers) should be paid for and turned in by next Friday, September 9th. Questions, please call Winnie at 985-5233. Tickets are $11.00 and include delicious BBQ ribs, chicken, beans, salad, roll and peach cobbler for dessert.

To be able to live in Valley Home is such a blessing ... special folks surround you, one of our dearest neighbors, a forever resident of Valley Home came over to purchase park fundraiser tickets. She brought us a delightful treat, delicious homemade strawberry jam, fresh and yummy! What a perfect place to live!
