This is a major concern to me.

i suggest all newbies mention this to their sales associates as a detriment. once a year there is a meeting where about four years ago we presented a petition with about four hundred signatures but were told it had already been discussed that year so come back again next year...i am just tired of it...we need an activist! any volunteers?

[lbertoni]

Where did you meet him?

[manaboutown]

Would anybody hazard a guess on the ratio of single men to single women in The Villages?

[manaboutown]

During my three visits several singles informed me that the practice in The Villages was to request and obtain separate checks. Perhaps the bars and restaurants in TV are familiar with and accepting of this practice. In most places they want to give one check to the whole table. Period.

I returned this winter as a new widow. My husband and I have been snowbirds here for 4 years. I really wondered if I would enjoy TV as a single 52 year old woman. Although it is most certainly different, I can say single life here is much fuller and kinder to us than I think it is almost anywhere else. I have not attended any "singles" activities yet but am gearing up to take that plunge. Fortunately, I do have single friends to go to the movies, play a game of golf or pickleball with. I highly recommend TV as a single person and as a snowbird!

Very nicely said Miss ChaChaCha. My condolences to Natalie as well. She will be welcomed by everyone we know with open arms.

You are very correct. We saw you chachacha at the piano bar. We are all still young.

I am single and moving to TV in April. Would like to join some singles groups.
Send me the information.

[chachacha]

check out the recreation news when you arrive for the regular clubs, which are many and varied...as for our "unclub", just watch this forum or better yet post that you are here and what you would like to do, a movie, lunch, golf etc and see what happens...we would be happy to do another meet and greet when you are here! the last one had about twenty five happy folks....let us know!
