You guessed it - volunteer RESIDENTS. Imagine what the amenity fees would be if those were paid positions or, conversely, how many of them would be eliminated because of the small numbers of people who would support them (even if they could find people who would run them)? Yes, the developer built the facilities and the CDD's maintain them, but, IMO, the RESIDENT volunteers make the amenities possible.........
I think the cliche is "It takes a Village"! No one group is successful without efforts of another. We help each other out to create a positive environment for us and others. We build of the successes and failures of others, learning from both and moving forward.
