They drive around and watch for new people moving in & then sell the names/addresses to TAS Environmental so they can come in right behind them to sell a "GE" water system. The Villages has their own Welcoming Committee, also the Newcomer Magazine has a Newcomers social every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month. You can call 352-430-2950 for more information. Be careful if you do not have a landline phone yet, Liz & Marchelle will ask for cell numbers to sell to TAS also.

I moved in five months ago. The phony welcome lady came to my home and told me she was from the villages . It took about one minute for me to figure out she was not telling the truth , I told her to leave now. I have never been contacted by a Welcoming Committee from the villages. One tip , when you get your new telephone number, get it unlisted otherwise you will get a ton of calls from people trying to sell you somthing. The telephone company I used advised me to get my number unlisted. Do not buy or use services from door knockers.
