Well, like I said before, the groups I hang around with playing golf or at the social clubs never talk politics. Some of our friends who we see socially talk politics at times and, believe it or not, all are very liberal. I have organized food drives for one of our social clubs for the Christian Food Pantry which is against many of you conservatives beliefs but we still collect quite a bit of food every month.

The Salvation Army Red Kettles are beginning very soon and I will be out ringing bells at the WalMart on 466. Hope some of you come by to drop money in the kettles - if giving to charity is not against your beliefs. In fact, we can always use a few more bell ringers, so just let me know and I can sign you up for a couple of shifts.

The Villages are full of caring and generous people. There are some grumps on this forum who say they will never give a hand-up to someone who needs it. Very tiny fraction of the good people here.

Do not be dismayed by the rantings of a few people. The Villages is truly one of the best places you can choose to live.
