Our email newsletter subscription is changing, but our website will always be free

No other website, newspaper, television station, or multi-media conglomerate has delivered more information in more ways to The Villages than Villages-News.com.

We were the first to offer real news, real conversations, and real dialogue.

In 2018, our fifth year since inception, we have very ambitious goals.

We are significantly expanding editorial coverage, which means more stories, more videos, and more photos. 

We are significantly expanding our staff to include comments moderation, something our community has asked for and something we are committed to delivering. 

We are significantly expanding our server capacity, which means faster page-loading, enhanced security and minimal downtime.

Our email newsletter is something we take pride in compiling. Every day, two-thirds of our staff spend dozens of man hours preparing the items to be delivered in the email newsletter. In order to continue providing a daily email newsletter, we need additional help and resources.

We encourage you to subscribe for a 2018 email newsletter subscription by clicking here.
