Please respond to this persons question

[Talk Host]

As you know, I have sent out a reminder email to all our members about your monthly TOTV luncheon on Friday, March 20. Nearly 8,000 emails have gone out.

In one of the replies, I received, the person (who does not yet live in the Villages) said the following. I would like for our members to provide the reply.

"I am a bit younger than some of the folks and african american, so I wonder if I would be comfortable meeting the folks at Crispers one day. What do u think?

THanks again for the email, and keep them coming!"

Hi Younger Member. I am still a TV Wannabee be and have never met any of my fellow members in person. But I feel as if I know them all and think of everyone as my friend. TOTV members are the greatest bunch of people in the world and make everyone feel like part of a wonderful family. There are no differences between us regardless of age, religion, ethnic background, or anything else. We are all TOTV'ers and that's the only thing that counts. Go the lunch, enjoy the fun, and make tons of friends. Wish I could be there this Friday to meet you but will one day.

[Hawkwind]

By all means go and meet some great people. Some of the older ones will add wisdom and some of the younger will add wit (a little dim at times) and it is really great to put a face and a voice behind the words posted on TOTV. I can't wait for my next visit and hope to meet a few that missed the December gathering.

A note to our anonymous poster!

TOTV is a great place where you will make lasting friendships, no matter what age, ethnicity, etc..

You are more than welcome to join in any event that TOTV has planned..It would be a pleasure to meet you!

You are more than welcome to stop by our chat room one night, that place is a real blast! You will meet lots of peeps, and get lots of answers to any questions you might have!..

The chat room peeps are very friendly, and always welcome new members..

Please stop by, and meet some of us, we would love to have you!

Do attend the luncheon, as you will enjoy it very much!

I don't know how old, or young you are talking, but I am turning 50 in June, and had just turned 49 when i moved here last June 30th, so, am somewhat younger than most. also, am in a non-traditional long term relationship, and nobody cares about either, as far as i know. come to the luncheon, and i am sure you will feel the same way. a great bunch of people, really.........although, kathie might try and hit on you, but, she's really harmless :a20:

Hi,

I am moving to TV next month and have yet to attend a luncheon. However, the people here are warm and friendly to all. I, too, am a bit younger, and people have made me feel welcome. I am proud that I can share a friendship with people from different countries, with different religions and of different colors - that's the best part of life. I hope you go, so you can let me know how much fun I missed.

Oh, please come to the TOTV Luncheon. You will meet a wonderful mix of people, in all sizes, shapes, colors and persuasions. The only regret I have is that I missed a few of these luncheons over the past year.

WELCOME:2excited:

Hi..

I'm a relative "newbie" (to this site, that is), but not new to TV. I'm not "old", but I'm not that young, either. How often are these lunches? Do you just show up or sign up? If either, is there a particular section there and do you have to ask for it or what? Sorry to be so dense, but I don't really ooze confidence alone in a new situation. Once I get comfortable, that's a different story. I'm always up for meeting new folks and have made great friends since moving here 5 years ago. I just want to make more friends....I love people and feel that you can always find things of value in all. Thanks.

[Sgt Mac]

I am 14 and my wife is over 100 and I am bringing 2 6 packs and a 3 pack of Depends for her :beer3:
All are welcome always Just come on over and say hello you may like it more then I can say and this post is for everyone :agree:

Just show up at 3 pm tomorrow at Crispers outdoor patio ...if it's cold we go inside. Kathie I or someone will be there to greet you ...just bring your smile and enjoy the afternoon. If it looks crowded, don't run away, we would love to meet you.

The meetings are once a month.

[GMONEY]

Really dont deserve a answer.

But since I am already posting. Dont matter who you are. But if you got that feeling that it does, Please let us know what made you think that it would matter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Peazoup]

I am sad that you feel you had to ask that question. Our community encompasses all. When you're here, you're family - no matter what. The Crispers gathering is a wonderful opportunity to meet people and make friends. I knew no one 4 months ago when I first came, but through Crispers and TOTV, I now have many, many wonderful friends. Come!

[MMC24]

I come from a different and maybe an unpopular point of view, I do not go to the luncheons because I like to post on TOTV anonymously. But I do encourage you to move to TV because it is a wonderful lifestyle and all ethnic groups are welcome.

Won't be a the luncheon due to a previous commitment.

Being in TV is the ultimate societal experience - we all make it a great place to live because of our common desire to be out of the rat race and to more appreciate being in the human race.

The only question that matters is.......who buys the first round? ? ?

It's a beautiful day here - always - so come and enjoy!

MMC, definitely NOT unpopular point of view, that's what makes TV the greatest, you can do with it or not do with it as you choose. To each his own, my mother used to say.... Maybe your just shy, like I am!!! That's okay cause look what TV did to me...:MOJE_whot:

[Taltarzac]

We seem to have a number of gay/lesbian people who come regularly to TOTV meetings as well as people of different ethnic backgrounds.

I just turned 50 on 2-24 and found the people at the Crispers TOTV very open to social interactions no matter what the age, color, gender, clothing style, etc.

I do see where you are coming from though as my caucasian brother is married to a very dark skinned lady from Jamaica and from their stories there still is a lot of prejudice out there. You will find very little of that on TOTV nor at Crispers.

[gardenia]

You guys are the best! I submitted the question and was pleasantly surprised to see this thread,. I am floored by the high number of responses and moreover to all POSITIVE responses. I am so sorry I won't be able to join you as I am still up North but sure will plan my Summer visit around your June or July event. I already feel like I am part of the community and love every minute I spend reading posts on TOTV. My deepest thanks to our great host for posing my question to the forum (wasn't my intent, but in retrospect, it makes perfect sense!). I have visited TV a few times already and found everyone to be extremely friendly and welcoming. See you all in 3-4 months!

Hi Gardenia, I look forward to meeting you some day. You will get to TV before me I am sure but we are hoping to make another lifestyle visit in April. And if all works out we will do it around the TOTV Crispers lunch. And when we sell the house will be there and at every lunch.
