Algae Attack!



The call went out. The volunteers gathered in preparation, weapons by their sides. The attack began at dawn. Needless to say, the algae was caught completely off guard and never stood a chance. Thanks to all those dedicated volunteers who came out at the break of dawn to remove algae from the lakes. Because these volunteers were able to rid the lakes of all the algae without the use of chemicals, they were able to help The Villages save money, as well as help the environment.
