Default GUEST ID CARD USAGE

There was an interesting article in the Sun today (Thursday). It was written by John Rohan and was entitled Guest ID Card Usage. After reading it I realized that I have had my head in the sand for the past seven years and did not realize that I am paying amenity fees so that some residents of TV can have their friends and relatives who live in the immediate surrounding towns and cities come and use the pools, golf courses, etc, by using ID cards issued under the in-area guidelines. These cards are good for 365 days a year and can be reissued upon expiration. So, you and I pay the amenity fees to use these facilities and Joe Blow (who also lives here) gets a bunch of year-round ID cards for his multiple friends and relatives and they can come and swim, play golf, and use all the other facilities, and it doesn't cost them a cent (except for the small charge to play an Executive Golf Course). Such a deal. Folks, there is a Guest ID Card Focus Group meeting at the Savannah Center at 2PM on Thursday the 11th of September just to decide if these rules governing issuance of guest ID cards should be changed. Might be a good choice to attend and see what is going on with your amenity fees.
