I would like to challenge, or suggest maybe, all villagers who are physically able,
to go out on their streets, their blocks (whatever you can do) and start collecting some of the greenery that is ALL OVER THE PLACE. It will take a few garbage bags, a rake, and a little sweating. My intention is to ease the work for the maintenance crews who really have their work cut out for them. I took my friend home this morning since she stayed overnight at my place. I could not beleive the amount of leaves, twigs, palm bark, [and more of all of that] in the gutters, the storm drains, along the sidewalks and MM paths. If we all do just a little bit, our crews will be able to focus of the big stuff.

I'm in! Anybody else?? And I'm not suggesting everybody do this, just those of us who are physically able and want to chip in to help our community. BTW, Cherry Lake up at Lake Sumter Landing, is 8 inches over top of the walkway (boardwalk as some of us call it). And the gazebo is totally gone. Let's get to work neighbors.

This has/is being done. I’ve seen it in our villages many times in the past.
People just help their neighbors… but don’t brag about it on social media.

Your assumption that folks are not helping their neighbors is probably wrong.
