In his usual fashion, Mark Morse thanked those in attendance for being Villagers!

He rattled off a lot of weird and fascinating statistics about TV. One or two I noted especially:

* One day in 2011, there were 11,208 rounds of golf played!

* In all of 2011, there were 1,832 holes-in-one!

* Villages Charter School ranked 9th in the state.

* 90% of the senior class will go to college.

* Some 39% of Villagers returned their USF Health Survey. Probably a record return.

* Folks who sold their homes in 2011 averaged a 2.1% return on investment, whereas national average is more like a negative 20%

They showed a video updating us on Brownwood; an edited version of what some have seen on V-Mail.

His sister Tracey Matthews spoke a little about the new recreation centers, including the Eisenhower Regional which will be dedicated to the military.

No mind-blowing news this year (i.e., no new programs, nothing like last year's USF affiliation).

As always, the theatre was fill, there was a good crowd in the overflow rooms, too.
