The Villages Homeowners Association (VHA) hosts a monthly "Get Acquainted Social," or some sort of name like that. You are, of course, encouraged to join, but there's no great pressure.

The crowd will depend, of course, upon how many new folks have heard about the event.

The term "social" persuaded me that I'd have the opportunity to schmooze with other newbies, perhaps with a nice cool one in hand. That didn't happen (coffee and doughnut holes were offered afterwards!), but it gave a good chance to meet various folks from TV and surrounds. Sherrif Farmer and one of his deputies (a Villager) was there, people from the Election Office, a representative of SHINE (info for seniors with medical insurance issues - can't recall the proper name) and another from a Seniors Fighting Crime type group. Questions were asked and, for the most part, answered.

For a newbie, it was very helpful, even if not as much "fun" as I'd hoped! ;D
