Help me out here 2BNTV. I'm trying to figure out just where the problem is. I can see that without a guest pass or ID, that a non-resident can't use the pools, attend a class or activity at a rec center, or play golf or tennis or pickleball. But they can go to the squares and enjoy the music, attend concerts a the Savannah Center, go to the movies, eat at the restaurants including the country clubs, etc. So, much of the ambiance of TV is available, just certain things are not.

Just to reiterate what I observed at the AAC, if an exception is made for what appears to be a reasonable request, how does TV refuse a equally reasonable request? Where does it stop?

Further, let's say they allow non-resident "permanent" guest IDs. Those with friends at Stonecrest (just an example, not to reopen that can of worms again!) could get them an ID, and those with friends in Ocala, and those with friends in Bushnell, and so on. How do we differentiate? Does it have to be the opposite sex? Well that discriminates by gender. Do we place a limit? That discriminates against new Villages residents. And if a limit, how many? 1000? 10000? 20000?

So, what activities are you looking for admission to with your friend?
