Seems to me that at least one of those factors should qualify you for membership as a Looney or a Tooney! LOL

Occasionally we have non-Canadians who want to join the Loonies, so you would be most welcome.
As long as you wear a kilt and dance to bagpipes, you'll fit right in.
Most of us don't speak French in spite of the fact that French is Canada's second language.
As long as you don't sit at a table with Quebecois, your gutteral French will impress us all.

Or at least a looney-tune, n'est-ce pas?

It seems to me you are being discriminatory based on the minority language of your fine country. Not only that, but also on the basis of one's dress. For shame! Do you also ban trans-Canadians? :jester:

Snowbird Club
 
Absolutely. And especially regarding Trans-Canadians. I really like that railroad.!

As a frequent visitor to the Villages, I have found most clubs discourage non-residents from participating. Very Cliquey. When non-residents try to get together it's frowned upon.
Better keep the nice weather or it's Hawaii next year.

You should try the Loonies and Toonies Club. They're all non-residents, more's the pity.:cryin2:

We actually consider ourselves seasonal residents because we own a home in TV.
In a category with many (non frogs) who spend summers in the north, and winters in TV.
We just happen to be Canadian non frogs. So many complicated categories! :doh:
But thanks for the nice sentiment CFrance!

I am requesting a room for Tuesday July 5, 2016 for an organizational meeting. Will post details if I get a room.

I am a snowbird. Have spent zero time in TV in June, July, or August.

How many snowbirds are expected to attend in July?

Maybe you meant Tuesday, January 5, 2016?
