TellicoLife Content Guidelines

The leadership of Tellico Village’s largest clubs have partnered to deliver an exciting online membership and activity management system for all Villagers.  Our vision is to become the one place - one website - one calendar where members can find what’s happening in Tellico Village, sign up for events, and manage membership in all clubs or organizations affiliated with TellicoLife. 

Our site content is available to the general public.  The TellicoLife Board of Directors has created the following Guidelines to support the objectives of TellicoLife in a fair and equitable manner.
