On a sunny June morning nearly 100 people gathered at the Village Green clubhouse for a discussion of the legacy of Sugar Hill, the historic and storied African American neighborhood in West Adams in Los Angeles. Sponsored by the Board and the Communications Committee, this was a joint project with FORT LA, a non-profit organization devoted to historic preservation in the city.

In a world that often feels disconnected, there is something incredibly powerful about our community yard sales.  Such was the case with the 14th Annual Village Green Yard Sale on Saturday, June 17th. This buzz-worthy gathering was a testament to the strength, resilience, and spirit of unity that lies within our Village.
The weather was perfect, and from the early hours of the morning, sellers could be seen frantically setting up to display their array of treasures as shoppers hovered around them. And as the hours passed, neighbors and friends mingled and bonded over shared hopes of purging old wares.
