I am a survivor to and felt so privilged to walk around the field with the support of the attendees and to see the luminaries lit up at night for those who have lost their battle was so moving. I cannot believe the friendliest home town would do this to stop fund raising for the RFL and deny Villagers this important recognition. For money for equipment instead is an outrage. We have all been touched by cancer thru ourselves, family, friends, neighbors and should be up in arms to complain. Our taxes support the very school they say we no longer have access to. Our Villagers volunteer at the same school and we support the students...what is going on...the Villages is no longer a democracy but a dictatorship, what happened to Our Friendliest Hometown, seems more like the greedy hometown to their own focus to me.
