I moved to The Villages in 2004 at age 48. We are the next generation of The Villages. Your site was quite impressive and I am wondering why it has not been updated. The generation arriving in central Florida will highly appreciate an accoustical performing arts center with quality entertainment and professional educational commitments. The link was provided at www.talkofthevillages.com . I had an idea for a great New Years Eve charity event and was asking how it could happen in the forums. The Polo fields would be the ideal place. Apparently, the Polo fields have been denied in the past. I am a very friendly, outspoken individual and I have found that Villages Residents, family and guests would love to have an outdoor venue for New Years Eve, under the stars, with a big countdown and fun entertainment. Maybe you know of another nearby site if the Polo Fields were unavailable. Many people in the talkofthevillages website have knowledge on how to coordinate a large event such as this: entertainment, staging, lighting, security, vendors, 1st night Buttons for sale everywhere! Even if people have other commitments, they would buy a button, just for your cause. You have the people, the charitable need and the expertise. The credentials displayed are overly impressive. I have been in the customer service workforce for 36 years, and I have a keen business sense and an undeniable love of music, theatre and the arts. If all of the Villagers, residents clubs, neighborhoods, and families were encouraged to attend an ARTSY NEW YEARS EXTRAVAGANZA to support a true arts center, this could be a huge success!! Just wanted to send my thoughts and wish you much success on a Performing Arts Center!! Feel free to reply with your thoughts.

I have explained my predicament, and will keep in touch with VPAA. Advance thanks to those who are interested! HERE IS THE EMAIL from Volunteers Performing Arts Authority. Rhonda,

We would like it if you, and your friends, could meet
with us immediately after our Steering Committee Meeting on
Wednesday the 23rd.

If possible, could you come to the conference room at
Community Bank and Trust on 466. It is about in the
center of the new banking area, west side of the
highway about a half-mile south of the high school.

We would most certainly like to meet you and answer
questions you may have.

11AM should see us finished with our Committee meeting
and then we will have time to talk with you.

Let me know,

Thanks,


VPAA
