Here is what and where I sent the email:

Greetings,
I enjoyed the first edition of the new "Mix" supplement to the printed Daily Sun. It was artistically designed, full of interesting stories, and included nice pictures. The weekly format will give you the time and opportunity to collect and compile material.
My only disappointment was the decision to have separate editions for north and south of 466. Was this a cost saving decision? I travel all over the Villages and have friends in every corner of the community. I care about ALL of the Villages, not just my southern half. One of my concerns about the future, as we transition to resident-controlled government, is the tendency for people to become provincial..."if it doesn't benefit me, then I'm against it" We are all one Villages, from the first home on the historic side to the newest one in Hemingway to the last one to be built next to Brownwood. I read several very interesting articles in the "south" edition that my friends in the north will never see. That's too bad. I also checked the Daily Sun website and could not find either edition posted. So, I'll never know what the fine folks "up north" are up to.
Please, please reconsider your decision to have separate supplements...I strongly urge you to combine them together into ONE Villages Mix.
Thanks for taking the time to read this message and consider my recommendation.
