Trying to round up a group of our "Unclub Singles", to go to Next Friday's Ocala Art Walk, which begins again with this upcoming show. Hours 6 - 9 p.m. There is also supposed to be live entertainment on the downtown square.

I can accommodate about 4 people comfortably in my car. Assuming enough people are interested, perhaps someone else could volunteer to carpool for other than the 4 I could take.

Thank you, Cha Cha Cha, for your suggestion, soup sounds good. Hard to plan on rain, but we can hope.

Sounds like a sure thing to me! Sign me up for one of those seats in your car! No maybe about it!

Hi Donald. Welcome to The Villages and looking forward to meeting you and sharing with you what we can about living here. Thank you for your kind offer re transportation. We are now full for my car, but if there are any more people who will be joining us, then we would need to arrange another driver. I live So. of 466A, very near Morse Blvd. Will send more details later in the week about WHERE we will leave from, but you should plan on leaving around 5-ish. In what area are you staying?

[kittygilchrist]

Kathleen! Thanks for stirring up the singles. I will be gone a couple of weeks and hope to get to some of the events you find after that...good stuff!

[DonaldD]

I am in the village of Lynnhaven. I will need an actual address for my GPS, I don't know the area at all and, unfortunately, directionally challenged. I have my options set to be PM'd by anyone. I will provide my personal contact information within my response. Again, sounds like it will be a fun evening...thanks for setting it up.

Oops, I wanted to mention that this is an amazing place. I was taking a bike ride this morning and met a few people at the Lynnhaven pool and was invited to a holiday pool party this afternoon. Who knew...

We will miss you, Kitty. But you will have a grand time on your trip. Be sure to take lots of photos! Will see you next time at whatever event you can make.

I AM THINKING WE SHOULD MEET AT WALMART parking lot, near the Garden Center area. Address is 4085 Wedgewood Ln., The Villages, just off 466. This would be convenient for Don, Bill and close to 301. We could meet there at 5:30 pm and be in Ocala around 6. For any who want to go separately, it looks like the Appleton Museum of Art is very central to the Art Walk, entertainment, and it might be easy to park there, although I've never visited Ocala. Appleton's address is ***3 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala 34470. Assume there wouldn't be a problem parking there after hours.

since we are meeting at walmart it would be nice to take 466 to 484 to the turnpike rather than coming back south. the appleton museum is lovely (another day trip) but it really is not walking distance to the downtown area where the art walk will most likely be centered. there should be enough parking along the side streets....NOW IF it turns out to be a rainy washout, may i suggest that we still meet and get a bite to eat and attend the monthly meeting of the Actors Studio at Bacall Rec Center...it is a lot of fun. so either way we will enjoy each other's company!

I think that route is what surething plans, but it is 466 to 301 to 484 to I-75 north. No use of turnpike.
