The Lady Lake Library participated in the Lake County Library System’s Food for Fines program in May. During the month, library fines and overdue materials were forgiven in exchange for donations of dry or canned food items, hygiene and baby products, and packaged pet food.
The Lady Lake Library collected over 1,500 non-perishable food items and donated them to The Lady Lake Christian Food Pantry on East Lady Lake Blvd. Started in 1998, the Food Pantry is an off-campus ministry of North Lake Presbyterian Church that provides supplemental groceries for families in need in Lady Lake, The Villages, Summerfield and Weirsdale.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is issuing a Consumer Alert warning Floridians about an increase in jury duty scams. In these scams, an imposter will call a target about missing jury duty, then threaten the potential victim with jail time if a fine is not paid. A recent news report from Miami-Dade County states that authorities there are seeing an alarming number of jury duty scams.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This scam is so troubling because the scammer on the phone will threaten a victim with potential jail time if a fine is not paid. Floridians should know that failing to report for jury duty is not grounds for immediate arrest, and court officials will never demand payment over the phone. By being aware of how to avoid this increasingly common scam, we can build a Stronger, Safer Florida.” Continue reading

They have arrested Donald Trump…It is totally political, Biden and the FBI / DOJ are destroying our country. Biden issued a statement that he did not know that the FBI was going to Indict Trump. He had to sign off on it! I think thats the plan. I am trying to piece this large puzzle together. I am not putting them into the correct time frame but here it is.
Obama had records at his home, when all the trouble started he had his team call the White House library and tell them he had record that they should have. He said it would you money to transport them safely I will send you 4.5 million dollars for expenses. Wala they were moved with our incident!
Also while Biden was in the Senate he acquired Nation Security documents and stored them at several of his homes. During his Vice Presidency he acquired more Top secret Documents and also taking his son on trips abroad. I assume Obama’s knew what was going on. Continue reading
