There is a very long article in the paper this morning and I truly can't understand it.

The best I can make of it, it appears that the Villagers? (it gave the names of a man and a woman) that ran the Relay for Life fundraiser have thrown their support toward the Moffitt center fundraiser. Now who knows if that is the case, if they were waterboarded to change their allegiance, but that is what I get out of it.

Seems inhospitable that THE VILLAGES, ie THE MORSE ORGANIZATION would just not let the Relay for Life continue at the High School track knowing all the stink it would bring. (It looks like the fundraiser group abandoned it....?) But WHY? Were they directed to change, or what?

it really doesn't make a huge difference other than people can't get to it by golf cart...if you want to see the bottom line. The survivors will walk, but just not here in TV which was kinda cozy and nice.

Can anyone give a better understanding of this morning's lengthy newspaper article??

AND it was lengthy. Methinks they protest too much.
Why can't the walkers walk the public streets in TV? The streets are public, yes? I'm so confused, as well as even more disenchanted about the "developer greed" that seems to be increasing at a real fast pace as the community grows.

Does one need a permit to "walk" in TV? Doesn't necessarily have to be at TV school grounds, but could one apply for a permit (or whatever is necessary) from say, Sumter County Sherrif's office to walk the public properties?

The "Moffit" debaucle was pretty disgusting when the developer took control of the donations, but this one really takes the cake in showing the greed in not allowing this long-standing "walk for cancer." GRRRR

Please do not advise me to move; I like it here and this is my choice to live here and I also have the choice to speak out when there's questionable happenings within the community. This is "our" community and we have the POA to balance the scales for our residents, thank goodness.
