If you can put you credit card into Apple Pay and use your phone to pay at the checkout, I'm sure they could do something similar and SECURE with the Villages ID bc we certainly don't want your sister using the facilities.
Yes, The Villages could change the rules. But the current rule requires a resident to show their actual, plastic ID card. But some people will argue with a rec center employee who won't accept a copy of the ID card on their phone. This is definitely not as secure as the actual plastic card, and it does NOT comply with the rule. Either get the rule changed or follow the rule. Don't make a copy of your card and expect the rec center employees to honor it.
