Many, many posters on this thread need to go to the whiners club meeting.
I knew the would eventually show with their complaining………

You are so right! I worked for Rohan for 3 months . The Morse family does'nt seem to be " in touch" with the Villagers and the Rec Center staff. We pay our eminity fees every month. Rec Center staffing problems are not our responsibilty. I find it amazing that the Morse family will not increase the saleries and hire more help. Gimme a break . We Villagers don't do it for the money. I made a whopping $8.87 an hour.We love the life here and want it to continue.

Than again we have several 10 ft ceilings and silly me bought a 6 ft ladder when we moved here and realized that aint going to work.

You mean you're less than 4 feet tall???????

You only need a ball repair tool for all the greens you hit.

The Morse family has NOTHING to do with the hourly rate of Rec Center staff.
The Morse family does seem to pay well enough to continue to build massive numbers of houses every year.

Want me to show you how to stand on that top rung? The next one down would get you there. Seriously I am an idiot but I do that regularly with a 4’ ladder. I have a six foot step ladder and the folding gorilla ladder but like I said ( I don’t recommend this) (DONT TRY THIS AT HOME) I’m an idiot. The four footer is just easier to maneuver and I’m like a mountain goat hard to knock over. Probably famous last words

Unfortunately they pay less than McDonalds does.

I love the flowers.

The Morse family has not made any correct decisions about this place. I am certain that they are referring to posters here to set them right.

See how that works - there are 150,000/200,000 individuals who pay amenity fees - they all have different priorities.

All of the amenities here need maintenance. I enjoy playing both golf & tennis. One shouldn’t be sacrificed for the other.

same problem at golf courses

The rec department is unwilling to increase wages for their part time employees that would even equal the starting pay of “fast food” restaurants in the area. I think it is more important to maintain the excellent service at our rec centers than spending our money on unnecessary things such as replacing flowers every few months at every traffic circle and major intersection in the villages? Aesthetics are nice but our amenity fees would be better spent maintaining staff than on frequent landscaping changes.

It looks like you will get a lot of feedback from people that know nothing about the using money collected from our fees!!

I've always have been impressed how well they maintain the common areas, keep up the good work.

That’s exactly the point I was making.
