I wish I had advance notice of the rally at SS. Whoever organizes the next one, please
put the info on a new post. I live south of 466, but I and many of my friends are in support
of our neighbors in the historic area. The next rally should be ASAP while the news stations
are involved. Don't give up; we're with you all the way.

Each Village has a VHA Represenitive, which is controlled by guess who...Mark Morse.

Here’s a thought, sorry for the posts I am not there yet but I am going to be soon. Someone get a Mail Chimp account (Send Better Email | MailChimp), set up a simple email list, screen name here, email address, Village they live in, post it here and then create a campaign. The campaign can be sent out to all on list with instructions on how to share it to others. It works for me went from 25 to 1800 in about 2 weeks, you have more availability here, and from my Google Analytics stats yesterday you got your own referral to my web page, which would be great if you were all dance teachers. If you need help you can Facetime me.

I am not sure if this violates something here for this service, maybe; if it does my apologies.

I hadn't heard them called Village Block Captains. Thank you.

Whenever you you put up a website, it always critical that you find ways to drive traffic to it and gorilla marketing is always the best and cheapest method.
This is a new term to me. There are block captains in TV?

We are currently looking in to who erected the wall and why. When we have more information, we will share it on this blog.
Thank you for taking the time to become a sponsor and for posting. Thank you.

Default No more dinning and shopping in the villages

While we do not live in the villages. We do most of our grocery shopping ,dining out, go to the farmers market, purchase from the venders at the squares, and purchase from the various retailers in the villages. With the golf cart access blocked we will no longer be able to help support theses business. While we will miss the villages it will be at the expense of the businesses in the villages. We are sure there are a great number of people living here that feel the same way.

Channel 9 is planning to air this story on the evening news according to the lady at the TV station.
Hope Morse has a satellite dish on his yacht so he doesn't miss it!

Each of the villages has neighborhood volunteers that notify their respective neighbors of parties and other pertinent issues.

Ohh, I didn't know I was the Block Captain for our informal Hilltop Cocoon Club. LOL I know who our Block Captain is on our cul-de-sac. He's in New York for the summer. That is a new term that makes perfect sense when I think about it. Thank you.

Default cart path closing

This is typical of The Villages.
Why in the world would they block cart access to their own Urgent Care Center and lab???
Must be someone decided they weren't getting any money from letting people use that path. The GREED so prevalent with the Morse family continues to boggle my mind.

As many of you have said, I don't understand why people who aren't affected by this continually post condescending (some downright snide) remarks.
Better yet, why don't they show up at one of the rallies and make their patronizing comments to the faces of the people who have been hurt by this!

Thank you!! The condescending remarks from those that can jump in their carts and go is really uncalled for...that and the defense of who is behind all this.
