If you haven't seen the notice on Villages.Net, take a moment to read.

Briefly it mentions the new rates in effect for 2009 and indicates what is included in the 8.00, called "member services".

. 2 e-mail addresses per household
. access to the villages golf and information system
. access to schedules of events in and around the villages

Granted you may not want anything other than the t-time access but now you have the info. and can choose to dial or use the web. Incidentally I max out at 100 - 120 rounds per year. At 156 rounds per year each for you and your wife (total 312), you win the prize. 116 for me and 85 for the wife last year.
