This Is our Village

Friday, September 20, 2013

The members of the French-Canadian Association "Cercle des bons amis" support the introduction of WIFI in our village.

WIFI at Century Village, message to UCO’s President, Vice-presidents and delagates
The vitality and sustainability of an organization, whether it is financial, educational, social, cultural or community necessarily pass through its ability to seize opportunities to maintain its anchors in a perspective of development of its future.

However, the WIFI in our village would appear as a timely path of development for our community as a whole. The wireless is an asset for the elderly disabled, for example. Thanks to the smart phone, a tablet, or a mobile phone, people can keep in touch with their friends, their neighbors, the help at home services, and even medical assistance if necessary. The wireless is also an asset and a tool for UCO elected managers, as well as condo associations' elected directors and even organized groups and clubs of people within the Century Village Community: all may benefit from the availability of the WIFI for various forms of exchanges of information and communications

We, the members of the "Cercle des bons amis" (CBA), believe strongly in the appropriateness of the introduction of wireless in our village. We certainly appreciate the Florida Sun, but we especially appreciate our village in contact with the world through the internet and virtual contact with our members and friends, those of the village and friends and family we have left behind for the winter. Individually and personally, each one of us could probably settle for residential services we already pay for during our stay in Florida. However, in the spirit of sharing and for the well-being of our community, we believe that the wireless becomes a must in a perspective of economic development of the village for the benefit of all our residents (safety, entertainment, virtual communications in real time, promotion of the village, openness to the world, facilitation of financial and real estate transactions, etc...). In short, 600 members of the CBA, our 9 elected members to the Board of Directors of the CBA and our 31 elected members to the Board of Directors of various condo associations, acknowledge that the wireless is a carrier to support the development of our village and ensure its economic sustainability.

We reiterate our support to WIFI and appeal to all UCO delegates, to take all necessary actions to support the budgetary requirements for the implementation and operation of WIFI in the Century Village.

Réitération d’appui au projet WIFI de CV

La vitalité et la pérennité d'une organisation, qu'elle soit financière, éducative, sociale, culturelle ou communautaire, passent forcément par sa capacité à saisir les opportunités de maintenir ses ancrages dans une perspective de développement de son futur.

Or, le sans fil dans notre village nous apparait une voie opportune de développement pour notre communauté dans son ensemble. Le sans fil est un atout pour les personnes âgées à mobilité réduite par exemple. Grâce au téléphone intelligent, une tablette, ou un portable, des personnes peuvent demeurer en contact avec leurs amis, leurs voisins, les services d'aide à la maison, voire l'assistance médicale si nécessaire. Le sans fil est aussi un atout et un outil de gestion fort prisé pour les gestionnaires élus de UCO, les administrateurs élus aux associations de condo, ou encore les divers regroupements de personnes composant la communauté de Century Village: tous se requièrent de la pertinence de jouir des facilités web et de son agilité virtuelle pour toutes formes d'échanges d'informations et de communications.

Nous, membres du Cercle des bons amis (CBA), croyons fortement à la pertinence de l'instauration du sans fil dans notre village. Nous apprécions certes le soleil de la Floride, mais nous apprécions tout spécialement notre village en contact avec le monde grâce à internet et le contact virtuel avec nos membres et amis, ceux du village et ceux que nous avons quittés dans notre lieu d'origine. Individuellement et personnellement, chacun de nous pourrait sans doute se contenter des services résidentiels que nous nous payons déjà pendant notre séjour en Floride. Or, dans un esprit communautaire et, pour le bien-être de notre collectivité,  nous croyons que le sans fil devient un incontournable dans une perspective de développement économique du village au bénéfice de tous nos résidents (sécurité, divertissement, communications virtuelles en temps réel, promotion du village, ouverture sur le monde, facilitation des transactions financières et immobilières, etc.). Bref,  nous les 600 membres du CBA, nos 9 membres élus au Conseil d'administration du CBA ainsi que nos 31 membres élus au Conseil d'administration de diverses associations de condo, reconnaissons que le sans fil est une voie porteuse pour soutenir le développement de notre village et en assurer sa pérennité économique.

Nous réitérons donc notre appui auprès du Président, David Israël et nous traduisons auprès de tout le comité exécutif chez UCO, de bien vouloir tout mettre en oeuvre pour appuyer les demandes budgétaires nécessaires à l'opérationalisation et à l'installation du sans fil au Century Village de West Palm Beach.

  2. Bravo to our Canadian Neighbors. Please ignore the idiot that told you to shut your mouth and open your wallets. You have just as much right to say what you want.
    Let's bring Century Village out of the Dark Ages.

  3. Bravo. I am thrilled to see our Canadian neighbors get together and voice their opinions.
    Please ignore the ignorant remarks from the other blog telling you guys to "shut up and open your wallets".
    Unfortunately we have a few that want to keep Century Village in the Dark Ages. To them, I say: Welcome to the 21st Century!

  4. Hello Bob. Even if we (snowbirds) use the internet in CV only 5 months a year, it is such a benefit to the CV community that we will not shut up but we will open our wallets 12 months a year. Andre Legault

  5. Hey! Good Andre!

    I was just thinking about you today- we drove up to Tredwell Bay.

  6. Andre,
    You are so right. It is so nice to see some common sense for a change. The malcontents could actually learn something from your example. I do not believe that wifi is the issue with them. Obviously they would use it. Their issue is plain and simple, they do not like Dave Israel, and that is it. They twist thing around to make things look bad. It is ridiculous how such a small group of people have been allowed so much attention. Of course they want you to shut up and open your wallet. Then they can yell as loud as they want and expect you to pay for it.
