It would probably mean hiring one more person per rec center so that meeting rooms could be set up, the pool areas checked, etc. As it is now, it is rare to find someone at the front desk -- they're too busy doing too many other things. Not fair to them, not fair to us.

As to the pool issue, my vote goes to having to swipe our ID cards to enter.

Personally, I would like to see some changes in the rules. I would love to have a friend of mine play bridge with me here. We can play together at her club, but she can't join me because she lives in Lady Lake. It seems as if we should be allowed to bring an occasional guest from nearby communities to not only share our homes, but our community. I know of singles who would love to bring their dates to dances and clubs in TV. I know of couples who would like to have an hour at the pool with their friends before dinner. Not allowed. If immediate family can be given annual passes to use here (so long as they are accompanied by a verified Villager), why can't a day pass be issued for the occasional friends (it could be limited to no more than 1 pass a month per Villager).

It is sad to say but the privilege would soon be abused. The current system is now being abused and this would open the door for more.
