TLife - How clubs & orgs can subscribe to TellicoLife PDF Print Email

Is your club or organization interested in subscribing to TellicoLife?

Here is the summary of who we are and how to subscribe.

TellicoLife started in early 2017 as an idea from HOA to create an on-line way for HOA members to manage their membership, see the calendar, register for events, etc. We formed a team and conducted a classic software search. Late in the search, we realized that the needs we had for HOA were shared by other clubs and organizations in the village. What if we sponsored, on behalf of the village, a single on-line place where Villagers could easily find out what’s happening in and around Tellico Village? Would Villagers value it? Would clubs & organizations subscribe to it? So.. we launched in mid 2017 and have been growing ever since.
