Had the same thing happen here during July...
you know what made me sort of angry, or confused, or betwixt and between?
The water softener company claiming they were also associated with Welcome Wagon and had gifts (!) for me. When I finally got them to stop calling, they never delivered a gift. I do remember the days of the
real 'Welcome Wagon', unsolicited gift left at the door or just hand delivered
with a welcome to the neighborhood. I sort of feel any company using
the "We are also the 'real' Welcome Wagon' for The Villages and will bring your gift when we come to test your water ought to rethink how they are using and abusing something that both makes you feel welcome, but smacks you on the hand. That said, five years ago when I moved to a new home
in South Florida I went through the same torture of water softener calls.
Probably good if the RE people would suggest to new owners to be leery
of these huge deluge of calls. Must be the same everywhere. Now that I think of it, there may no longer be the old Welcome Wagon. Geez, not too bright on my part!
