/EINPresswire.com/ Poinciana, Fla— Solivita™, one of Central Florida's most popular active adult communities, is pleased to announce the winning blogger from the community's recently-launched www.livingyoungerwithme.com, a web log that chronicled the experiences of three Solivita™ residents. Gabby Thomas, a retired elementary school principal, was selected as the winner following a six-week blogging competition in which she created the most buzz surrounding her frequent posts. As the winner, Thomas will receive a barbecue block party for up to 30 of her closest friends, compliments of Solivita™.
"I love living and playing in Solivita™, so I thought it might be fun to blog about my new home and neighborhood, my activities and my friends" states Thomas.
Thomas, who has lived in the 55+ adult living community, Solivita™, with her husband Joe for nearly four years, was one of approximately 40 resident-applicants who entered for the chance to become one of three featured bloggers in April. Thomas, in addition to Ginger Allain and John Robinson, were the three finalists chosen to post their daily experiences living within Solivita™ onto the "Living Younger With Me" blog platform.
"We could have never imagined the tremendous response from our residents as we launched this social networking campaign," said Francesca Vereb, Senior Director of Marketing for Avatar Properties, Inc., the owner and developer of Solivita™. "Many may not traditionally think of this demographic as a social media savvy group, but Gabby, Ginger and John have proven that perception false!"
The blog was launched as part of a larger program at Solivita™, focusing on four key lifestyle pillars of community, exercise, nutrition and finance. Solivita™ launched the blog campaign in conjunction with its Central-Florida based interactive marketing partner .Com Marketing.
Hillary Bressler, CEO of .Com Marketing, notes, "This blogging campaign really highlights Avatar's forward-thinking leadership. Blogging is a communications tool that many active adults are beginning to use more frequently, so we suggested that Solivita™ embark on an interactive campaign using this platform. We are thrilled that Solivita™ trusted us with our vision and encouraged their residents to blog about their experiences living in the community."
