This is Mike Roth. Welcome to the Open Forum in the Villages podcast. In this show, we're going to talk to leaders in the community, leaders of clubs and interesting folks who live here in the villages to give perspective of what's happening here in the villages and information that I think all villagers should have. This is Mike Roth. I want to welcome you to Open Forum in the Villages. This is a show where I'm going to be talking to leaders here in the villages club leaders, community leaders, political leaders.

During the course of the next several weeks or months, we're going to be featuring important people in the villages, like Don Wiley, who's currently serving as a CCD supervisor and was recently appointed to be a Sumter County supervisor by Governor DeSantis, and we'll hear about his background and why he thinks he should be re-elected to serve on the county commission, and we'll be talking to writers like Linda Keon, who's the head of the Writers League of the Villages. We'll be talking to people like Frank Lancombe, who's a writer. We'll be talking to Hank Coleman, and he's going to teach everyone how to take great photos. Our average show will be about 18 minutes.
