Similarly if you are gone for the summer, ask them to hold delivery until your return. This saves the POA money but also keeps the neighborhood looking nicer without un-picked up papers sitting there for days.

To stop delivery, or to schedule a hold and restart date:

POA Bulletin No Throw Form Form

I think that is an unrealistic expectation for the paper thrower. Geez.

Yeah, I'm sure the VHA would have made the developer give back that 40 milion.

POA gave us all the number to call regarding SINK HOLE insurance coverage in Florida.
Senator Baxley: 352-750-3133
BUT, we must also call-
Senator Broxson: 850-487-5001
Broxson is on the 1st committee to hear the House Bill 541 and Senate Bill 566.
If it doesn’t pass Senator Broxson-it will go NO FURTHER.
Page 6 in the POA paper gets you started.
This is such a vitally important issue for all of us.
Please, make those calls soon.
It could be your house or yard to sink, next.

I know...right?

The POA advocates FOR the residents in issues with Da Family, whereas the VHA IS Da Family...and is hardly going to advocate against itself.

It doesn't take a genius, to figure out which one...is more beneficial to us residents.

Not so. It has always worked for us when we've been snowbirds.

I stop and start newspaper deliveries at homes in two different states regularly and rarely have a problem.

I think many people have a negative view of the POA because early on the members were very negative and just looking for problems. I think today’s POA is very helpful and proactive with Villagers concerns. Just my opinion.

Thanks for saying what I was thinking.

I agree. Mostly. I wish we had a NEW separate group with representation from all over The Villages, both genders and both p.parties. But I don't wish it enough to start one, because as most of you know, I am really satisfied with how this place is run.

I personally couldn't care less what some folks think about the POA, as the truth is that it's the primary entity...that is willing to stand up for us residents against Da Family.

Obviously, for anyone who is blindly loyal, supports and believes anything that Da Family does or says...I can see where the POA might engender hate.

All I can say is...oh well.

It's clear the other guy could care less, because instead of helping the POA save money, trees, ink, by asking them to simply stop delivering to their house, they let the POA think they actually want it, JUST so they can throw it away. Maybe it's time the POA stops delivering to everyone, and only delivers to people who are members. Waste is bad. Intentional waste is criminal.

I agree.

I didn't realize that they delivered to other than subscribers...so they should just stop wasting resources.

I also think your astute observation on your other point...will not be understood.

Oh well.

The placement of a POA bulletin on every driveway is evidence that the POA is trying to keep all the residents informed. While they appreciate those who pay the dues the bulletin is free in your driveway and also at several locations where you can pick one up. It would be great to have those who don't care please stop delivery, but the benefits of keeping the entire community informed outweighs the damage of newspapers going into the garbage or at least hopefully the recycling bin.
