The CIC asks for a $5 donation for each safety flasher and lanyard. Three dollars of the money is used to buy another flasher and lanyard, and the extra $2 is put in a fund for the other projects that the CIC is implementing to improve the lifestyle of Villages residents. Thus far, the group has purchased a wheelchair for each Villages Recreation Center, and to date, the CIC has put a wheelchair in each regional recreation center and two Village recreation centers.  The CIC has also provided a wheelchair for each of the three town squares.
