I pay my 190. Per month amenity fee and it is my choice to pay a small amount for supplies for this class.
I would like to know if other groups/classes have been cancelled by the Recreation Department.
The Enrichment Academy offers one bridge class at a significantly higher fee. Is it fair to think that some of that money goes to The Villages?
I am very disturbed by this situation and would like to hear from other Villagers.
Using a free room in one the rec centers to make money is not allowed. The Villages activities exist because of the many volunteers that make them possible. Let's make sure it stays that way. It is a good practice.
