Community's Web Site Highlighted in Major Newspaper

Congratulations to Imagination Farms of Davie, Florida, whose TOPS Community Web Site was recently spotlighted in an article, titled “Community Web Sites-Neighbors schmooze, news online” by Melissa Sanchez. The article appeared in the Broward edition of the Miami Herald newspaper on Monday, July 24, 2006.

The article, which focused on the community’s usage of the message board feature to foster communication between neighbors, included an interview with Sharon Baron, the community web site administrator, and Anna Papernik, a resident of the community, and an active user of the web site.

The following is an excerpt from the article:

“Sharon Aron Baron said the website for her community, the 415-home Imagination Farms subdivision in Davie, helps busy neighbors get to know each other without having to step outside their homes.

‘Our houses are almost on one acre,’ said Baron, a stay-at-home mom who also manages the website.

‘A lot of people with their busy lives and this terrible weather don’t go outside and talk as much as they should. I learn more about my next-door neighbor by reading her posts than by talking to her when I go over there.

‘I think it really helps the communication.’

Papernik said the site -- which is open only to Imagination Farms residents -- is ‘one of the main things I love about living here.’ ”
