I meant for the title above to read;
Many Villages HAVE their own website or email group.
In the matter of immediate communication about events I know many villages or sections of villages have either a website or an email group that keeps everyone in the loop.
In our old neighborhood, there is an email group in Hadley of three streets and that group meets once a month at the Odell center for a social and it has a list of names, addresses, telephone numbers and type of car each drives.
We have a website at our current village of Laurel Valley.
I know that Virginia Trace has a wonderful website with information that is used by most of us.

If your neighborhood or village has a quick way of communicating, let us know. My point is that many of us already have a communication system of nearby homes in place. If you don't, suggest it at the next gathering and try to get it going in new neighborhoods.
It is a good way to communicate, check on each other, socialize and exchange information.
Share if your area has either an email group or a website.
