Default Newcomers Guide

A Frog in TV gave me the 2009 catolog called The Villages Newcomers Guide. I believe it is put out by the Daily Sun. I found it to be informative although outdated. How do I get the updated 2010 version?

PS: I just returned from the Social Security office. I am now considered officially RETIRED. The countdown has begun. Within 7 days, I will be in TV. I paid my dues.

You can pick the latest version at the Daily Sun office in SS. Cost was $5.00 when I picked up a copy.

Good to know about the guide. We'll get us on when we get there.

I will have the paper delivered while I am in Buttonwood the week of Sept 7. I will then put a hold on the paper until we return. Maybe I should contact Daily Sun and ask them to mail to my house in NY?????

The newcomers guide for 2010 comes out at the end of Sept. around the
20th. It will be delivered with the Daily Sun paper to all subscribers at the that time. (QUOTE]
---------------------

It would be great if The Guide could be published after the snowbirds return. I'd think the distribution would be much broader and therefore advertisers would reach more people.

Does the Village offices have some sort of information guide that they give out as well with helpful things, numbers, who to call for...., where to find....., best places to....., don't forget to..., etc.??? If they don't provide it, other than the guide in the newspaper mentioned here, where would we find out all the "important" information??????? Thanks

I understand the magazine comes Sept 20th or so. "If I am not in TV during late September, how can I get the paper, unless they have my NY address."

The front section of the Telephone Book has all kinds of important information.

When you return to TV, you can get a Newcomer Guide from The Daily Sun office in Spanish Springs.

The 2010-11 Newcomers Guide was in the Daily Sun this week. It has about 250 pages. Always has lots of information and many advertisements.
