Community Improvement Council seeks new members south of County Road 466

Village residents interested in giving back to and learning more about their community are encouraged to consider becoming a member of The Villages Community Improvement Council (CIC). Applicants are being sought from those Villages residents living south of County 466, including the Village of Fenney, due to the current and future growth of The Villages in these areas.

This 33-year old non-profit, non-dues organization of resident volunteers is committed to maintaining and improving The Villages lifestyle by serving as a liaison between residents and the Villages Community Development Districts, the Developer, and government groups, bringing resident suggestions for improvements to the attention of appropriate departments. Two of CIC’s most recent major contributions to The Villages are providing wheelchairs at the Regional Recreation Centers, at each of the three Squares, and at several Neighborhood Rec Centers and offering Safety Flashers to make residents more visible when walking around their neighborhood at night time. To learn more about CIC’s activities, refer to villagescic.org.

Applicants must be a full time resident of The Villages. Other requirements include availability to attend monthly meetings, serve on a committee, be computer literate, and attend either a VHA New Resident night or a Market Square event representing CIC.

Village residents interested in learning more about the Community Improvement Council (CIC) are encouraged to visit CIC’s web site (villagescic.org).

Applications are available online at villagescic.org under the “Contact Us” menu and can be completed online. If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to email David Carey, President at dcarey@villagescic.org or Janet Schmidt, Secretary at jschmidt@villagescic.org
