Yesterday in the mail I received the letter letting me know that the 2011 Villages Resident Survey will be available on TheVillages.net starting March 7, 2011 and ending March 27,2011. This survey is used by The Villages and the District Goverment to find out how this community can be improved. This is our opportunity to voice our opinion to the powers at be on what we want in our community.

It has been reported that in the past about 1/3 of the homes in The Villages responded to this survey. Please help your neighbors who don't have access to a computer and the net fill out this online survey. There will be many questions to be answered and it is our chance to let the powers at be know your wants.

The letter also states that staff will help people at the Savannah Center computer room and the Mark Twain Library to assist in the use of the computers to fill out the survey. The survey is accessed through thevillages.net and you do not have to join thevillages.net to participate.

They will ask you what you want in The Villages.

What other changes or new things will you let the powers at be know about?

Mark Morse uses this survey in his State of The Villages speech which he gives in May each year. I know the big question is will he be there this year. But that is for another thread which I am sure will come. The purpose of this thread is to inform people of the importance to contrubute to this survey and to help neighbors who may not have a computer.

Remember this is our time to let them know!

Below is a link to what was written on Talk of The Villages last year about this survey.

2010 Villages Resident Survey

And just what changes have you seen in the pas 10 years as a result of your survey response? It's a joke that asks for nothing but supportive and complimentary answers. Have you ever read the meaningless results that are published annually in the Daily Sun?

2010 Villages Resident Survey

Can't say for sure, but the presence of Bonefish, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Golden Corral, Burger King, Arby's, Perkins, etc., may have been in some ways due to villagers' expression of interest in past surveys.

I was told the woodworking shop was built as a result of resident interest. I don't expect to get everything on a wish list to the developer, but I'm not so jaded to ignore the opportunity to express my desires on the survey.

My favorite saying is, "if you don't ask, the answer is automatically no".
