From many of the previous posts, it seems TV is becoming more and more a favorite vacation destination with no ties with anyone here. As such, those simply enjoying our community as a fun spot to visit have no stake in the 'care and feeding' of it. Some who come here, even on the LS Preview, have no intention of ever living here. It just makes for a very affordable vacation.

Please understand, I am not saying that all who do not live here do not contribute all they can to keep this a great place. I just think that actual property owners, full or part-time, (not all, but most) take pride in what we have here and strive more to keep it that way.

Either way, it's everyone's responsibility. When we see something amiss, we need to make an effort to fix it...even pick up pieces of trash.

OK !! If we are going to get yelled at , Lets make it worthwhile......
Speaking of cheap vacations , I have two sets of friends that come to the Villages for two weeks and one month respectfully.........They both rave about what a cheap vacation it is and they have no intention of buying anything here ..........I vote for raising golf and pool fees for visitors and renters to a level that supports pool monitors to a full time level to police our amenities......ALSO stop handicap stickers on golf carts until such time that they can be monitored .........Supposedly they can't run their carts to within 15 ft. of the greens , no one adheres to these regs. I actually saw a guy (who could walk better than I can) drive over a green to get around a golf bag laying the edge ......Again I vote to set aside one or two courses for handicapped golfers..........I know this isn't a popular view but the only other alternative it is to give the Ambassadors (hallway monitors) some authority so they can escort violators off the course..........
Ok , Start yelling , If you don't agree something must be done, then lets hear your ideas...........

Fumar the exasperated ............
