Southern Village Directory

Somewhere on the southernvillage.org site is a directory of people who have decided to list themselves as living in Southern Village. I never use it.

What I do look at on occasion is a printed directory of Southern Village residents from 2004, the last printed version.

Two things come to mind.

One, I sure think we should make an effort to print another directory of everyone living here except those who prefer to remain anonymous.

And, second, I think part of that effort ought to include a strong request to collect every e-mail so that maybe 3 or 4 times a year, a short e-mail could be sent to all of us with some interesting news of our community and include some of the most important links at the end. A group of 3 people could be picked to decide on what ought to be in these e-mails to insure that they are interesting, informative, short and compelling...and of course, respectful of everyone in the community and environs.

I wonder if we did the work to collect all of the names if the merchants or a sponsor or two would be willing to cover any costs in printing or setting up all of the addresses with some kind of recognition included in the directory and in the occasional short e-mails?
