Know Someone that Might be a
Prospective Member?

The membership team keeps an ongoing list of Tierrasanta residents who are interested in learning more about the Village and/or hopefully joining the Village when the time is right. 

Prospective members can receive a copy of the Vibes via email once they are put on the non-member database.  SO, if you know of anyone who might be interested in learning more about the Village and membership, let us know.  We would be happy to contact them and make sure they know about our Website and monthly newsletter.  We look forward to the day we can once again do Informational Socials in person. Contact Ginny VanBenthuysen or Sue Christian.
