For years, The VHA has had a signature monthly event formerly known as “VHA New Resident Night.” Because most of The Villages’ residents live in Sumter County, it featured representatives of Sumter offices, along with District Government and other organizations of interest to newcomers. We recognized that we were missing too many residents with the name, so now it’s “Residents’ Information Night”.

As North Area Vice President, I noticed that not many folks from either Lake County or Marion County were attending. So, we are adding some additional focused programs. Whether you have recently bought a home in Lake or Marion County or have been living here for a long time, what I am about to tell you may be ideal for you.

On January 23, the South Area is holding a Leesburg and Lake County focused program at Ezell Recreation Center. Learn more at https://thevha.net/event/lake-county-city-of-leesburg-jan/edate/2024-01-23/.

The next night, we in the North are hosting “VHA’s Marion County Residents’ Information Night” at Mulberry Grove Recreation Center. Here are the particulars:
