HI, I AM LOOKING TO MOVE TO THE VILLAGES IN A LITTLE WHILE, AND I LIKE TO KEEP UP ON THE NEWS. I CALLED TO SUBSRIBE TO THE DAILY SUN NEWSPAPER AND WAS TOLD THEY DONT TAKE SUBSRIBERS OUTSIDE THE VILLAGES. ( I CURRENTLY RESIDE IN TENNESSEE)........ I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO MAIL ME THE SUNDAY EDITION, WEEKLY. I WILL PROVIDE ENVELOPES AND POSTAGE ALONG WITH SOMETHING FOR YOUR TROUBLE. YOU MAY EVEN MAIL ME YOUR COMPLETE COPY AFTER YOU READ IT, SINCE IT WOULD BE LATE WITH THE MAIL ANYWAYS. ALL I ASK IS THAT IT BE THE COMPLETE COPY. .. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED AND CAN HELP I WOULD APPRECIATE IT . PLEASE SEND ME A PM. THANK YOU

Might give the online version a try:

The Villages Daily Sun: Villages Mailing the entire Sunday edition might be a little costly.

I wonder what you want to find out from reading the paper? It's not much a resource to me and maybe there are other ways we can help you find out what you want to know.

I read the on-line version almost every day for a year before I moved down. Even if you could receive the actual paper, by the time you received it, it would be old, old news. Give it a try

It's basically a boring useless newspaper. You can get what you need to know on line cheaper and easier.

Reading a newspaper is old news by the time it is printed and delivered.

I love reading the Daily Sun. Keeps me updated on what is happening in the Villages. I can see why a newcomer would love to have it. It adds to the excitement of moving here.

A rare decent event. Sorry but the paper is boring and poorly written.

If you ride around TV in the early morning you will see that most Villagers subscribe to the Daily Sun. The reason is it's a fun paper to read. Read it online and form your own opinion. There is a ton of information on this site that is very helpful.

We used to get the Orlando Sentinel every day when we lived there.
We like the Daily Sun better.
Got the Sunday Detroit Free Press ($2.00) during the summer and it has gone down hill.
Be glad we have a paper here and delivery every day.

I sent you a private message. I would send you my Sunday newspaper if you send me self addressed, stamped envelopes. I would want to keep the coupons and circulars. You wouldn't need to pay me for my time, just pay the postage.
