The POA has vastly improved under its change of leadership a few years back. Quite honestly my assessment of this change has proved me wrong thankful to the benefit of us all
I agree. When I first moved here the POA was decidedly negative and definitely combative to the point of being counter productive. The change in leadership a few years ago changed all of that. In my opinion they are our watchdog.

They both publish a news bulletin which is distributed to all Villagers regardless of membership. Study each and make a decision which, or both, to support. Dues are minimal.
