We met our first friends long ago before either of us ever heard of The Villages. We were members of an Elks Lodge in upstate NY and and enjoyed each other's company. They eventually moved away to Tennessee then later moved on to become TV Frogs!

When we first thought about the possibility of finding a place in TV we contacted them for advise on a townhouse or condo (?) around Spanish Springs. The were familar with it since other mutual acquantiances of ours had stayed there and we were advised to not even consider it for a couple of reasons.

We then asked if we saw anything online we liked if they would go with an agent to see it and they were thrilled to do it because they like going around looking at homes, open houses or whatever. After about viewing about 5 homes we selected on the home we're now in - closing on it the day after we arrived in TV for the first time.

So that's how we met our first friends... a little different than most probably, but that's how it was!
