Official - No Means No Handbook!

Our community,  "Tellico Village" is located in Loudon County, Tennessee a largely rural county just Southwest of Knoxville.

Most of the county residents live in Lenoir City (Pop 8642),  Loudon (Pop 5381) or Tellico Village (Pop 5791).

The Village consists mostly of single family homes on winding streets along the Southern shore of Tellico Lake.  Originally intended as a place for city dwellers in the greater Knoxville area to build their "Cabin by the Lake", the Village transformed to a semi retirement community for affluent retirees from the burgeoning cities around Lakes Michigan, Erie and Huron - Steel, automobiles and other industrial products provided good wages and retirement plans, expensive real estate, high taxes and cold winters.  East Tennessee offers low taxes, less expensive property and moderate winters and the salespeople of Cooper Properties were happy to inform those northern retirees of the little paradise called Tellico Village.

Oh there are lots of native Tennesseans and imports from other parts of the country and the world and they almost universally share a few traits - they are well educated, law abiding intelligent people many of whom seem to share a common fault.

They don't seem to comprehend the word NO as it applies to all of us in this awful time of COVID-19.  Please refer to the official handbook of No Means No above and we might just live through this.
