Village residents turned out in force to hear the Morse family recently.
Mark Morse complimented the residents for their desire to share the Lifestyle that is so much a part of our community. He encouraged residents to stay involved and to do what they can to make this an even better place to live by stating, "If you do not stay involved in this operation, there is an opportunity for it to fade away..."
He followed that by reminding us, "Your enthusiasm is contagious, so go out there and express it!" Mark also encouraged residents to press for Sweet Tomatoes restaurant chain to come to The Villages.
Jennifer Parr offered many statistics involving the growth of the community over the years, and was somewhat sketchy about the decline in home values, while offering growth projections that indicate the future may very well erase the decline in values. Jennifer also pointed out that the upscale Villages Lifestyle we all enjoy is a major selling point.
The overall tone of the meeting was upscale, encouraging and well received by those who attended the meeting. It is always a pleasure to hear from the "Brass" and Villages1.com wishes to echo the message..."Stay Involved."
One way to stay involved is to Volunteer to share a skill you have. The Villages Recreation Department is organizing free classes for our Residents. They are looking for instructors for all types of Dance, Exercise Classes, Water Exercise, Hobbies, Arts & Crafts, Sports, Card & Board Games, including any idea you might have that isn't already listed. You can call 753-1716 or contact your nearest Regional Recreation Center for more information about becoming a volunteer..."you'll love it", says a recent advertisement for Volunteers!!
Villages1.com would also like to remind the residents that if you take the time to make your wishes clear, the Morse family is definitely listening! One cannot help but believe that they love this community as much as we do, possibly even more, since they made it all possible.
Thank you Morse family...we look forward to your message next year!
