and in addition to that, i just read a 8/9/13 villages news article that indicated they asked residents how they wanted to see the bldg utilized and the response was - as a restaurant.
so the acc responded - they had reservations [!] about going into the restaurant business! why bother telling the acc whay you want when they are probably pre-programmed to do what they are going to do with or without the resident's input!

"District officially asks for input on future of El Santiago Club building
August 9, 2013
The fate of the old El Santiago Club will be the subject of a meeting later this month.
The Amenity Authority Committee was advised by Villages Recreation Director John Rohan this past week that residents’ desires about the future of the building will be heard at 9 a.m. Aug. 30 at Savannah Center.
The AAC agreed in July to purchase the El Santiago Club building from the developer for $350,000. At that meeting, residents of the area expressed their desire for the building to be used as a restaurant. However, AAC members expressed reservations about getting into the restaurant business.
Rohan said the Aug. 30 meeting will be publicized with postings at recreations centers and postal stations."
