VMS金融服務部支出佔組織總員工及相關支出的百分比低於我們的姊妹社區和鄰近城市。此外，該部門支出佔總收入的百分比也低於我們的姊妹社區以及六個鄰近城市中的五個。
《首席財務官》雜誌在其2020年1月刊中報告稱，營利性組織的財務部門平均將部門支出維持在總收入的1%水平，這已成為行業標準。 VMS金融服務公司在調整其非營利性質後，其部門支出占公司總收入的比例為1.1%。
該部門的職能與姐妹社區 Rossmoor Walnut Creek 和 Leisure World Seal Beach 以及 Aliso Viejo、Dana Point、Fountain Valley、Laguna Beach、Laguna Niguel 和 Lake Forest 等城市進行了比較。

As fall arrives, the changing weather brings cooler temperatures, shorter days and a gradual transformation of the landscape. Residents will start to see vibrant displays of color from some of the many beautiful trees in the Village. Turf and gardens will also start to prepare for winter dormancy. Here’s what you need to know about seasonal turf and landscaping shifts and how VMS Landscaping Services will care for your outdoor spaces during this transitional time.
One of the most iconic fall sights is the dramatic change in tree foliage. Deciduous trees, which lose their leaves annually, begin to go dormant as they prepare for the colder months. Tree species in the Village such as liquid amber, Chinese Pistache, golden rain tree and Japanese maple, as well as a few others, all change colors as they prepare to shed their leaves. This change occurs as trees stop producing chlorophyll, the green pigment essential for photosynthesis. Without chlorophyll, other pigments—such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple)—become visible, leading to the beautiful fall colors we enjoy.
As temperatures continue to drop, the trees gradually seal off the areas where the leaves connect to branches, eventually causing the leaves to fall. Staff will compost or mulch the leaves, which will provide valuable nutrients for the soil.
As the fall season progresses, your lawn will also change. As temperatures drop, grass growth slows and eventually stops as it enters dormancy. Dormancy doesn’t mean the grass is dead—it’s a survival mechanism to conserve energy during the colder months. While dormant, the grass will turn brown or pale but will green up again when warmer weather returns in the spring.
As your yard settles into fall, you might also notice increased wildlife activity. Squirrels and other animals are preparing for winter by gathering food, while birds begin migrating to warmer climates.
Fall is a time of transformation in the landscape as nature prepares for the colder months ahead. By understanding the changes in your turf and trees, we can ensure your outdoor space is healthy and ready for the next growing season. Embrace the beauty of fall and enjoy the season’s colorful display—nature’s way of preparing for a fresh start come spring!

When disasters strike, collective efforts of people coming together inspire hope for those affected. Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused widespread devastation, and the road to recovery will be lengthy, challenging and expensive. Rebuilding communities requires contributions from various groups—from government agencies and nonprofits to caring private individuals.
If you have items to donate, time to volunteer in support of a nonprofit, or cash to give and have questions, email the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Donations Unit. To find a list of trusted organizations, additional information on donations and other resources, visit National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. Be cautious of scams or calls from non-reputable organizations claiming to collect donations. Always verify the legitimacy of any organization before making contributions. Click 這裡 for more disaster relief guidance from FEMA.
Donating money to reputable disaster relief organizations is the quickest and most efficient way to provide assistance. Financial contributions enable these organizations to address immediate and evolving needs effectively. Moreover, cash donations circulate within the local economy, as supplies are purchased from local businesses and residents are paid to aid in rebuilding efforts. This helps the affected area’s economy recover faster.
While other forms of donations may be well-intentioned, unsolicited goods often don’t match the needs of disaster survivors and can overwhelm relief workers, who then must manage these donations rather than focus on recovery efforts. Before sending supplies, check to see what is needed and where.
Volunteering with a trusted organization is another powerful way to contribute if you are interested and able. Established organizations in disaster-affected regions are well-positioned to identify where volunteer efforts are most needed, and can align your skills and training with their needs in a safe and effective manner. When volunteers work under the guidance of these organizations, they become a crucial part of helping survivors rebuild their lives.
If you’re interested in volunteering in areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, visit these state-specific sites:
Volunteer and donation needs will persist for months, and even years, after these disasters. Consider visiting the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster to explore ways you can continue to help in the long term.

鄉村管理服務 (VMS) 提供的服務水準高於其姊妹社區，但其社區預算佔用比例較小，人員配置也較精簡。同樣，在預算使用情況相當且人員配置更精簡的情況下，VMS 的服務品質通常也優於週邊城市。
雖然 VMS 比其姊妹社區更有效地利用技術，但與該地區的城市相比仍有改進的空間。
拉古納伍茲村的整體行政職能與姊妹社區羅斯莫爾核桃溪和休閒世界海豹灘以及附近城市阿里索維耶荷、噴泉谷、拉古納海灘、拉古納尼格爾、森林湖、拉帕爾馬、洛斯阿拉米托斯、蘭喬聖瑪格麗塔、聖胡安卡皮斯特拉諾和維拉公園進行了對比。
