Sorry I can’t help you out but maybe check on facebook. They have lots of groups and people are much nicer.

You might want to reach out to the Band of Brothers group who meet at City Fire in Sumter Landing on Tuesdays and Brownwood Paddock on Thursdays, officially from 2PM to 4PM. I'm sure there are some folks there that would love to work with you and your ideas. Great organization. Very civic minded and always ready to help a friend. And Welcome Aboard

Thanks to those of you who have responded kindly and with helpful suggestions. Obviously I will need to choose my friends wisely here! Anyone who wants to send me a (friendly) message, please pm me - I welcome contact.

Also, not in the rec news but there is a Unity Spiritual Center in Fruitland park near the VIllages that might be a good source of information.

No one should be shocked by the mean-spirited comments in this thread. There are plenty of mean-spirited people living in the Villages. There are also plenty of really nice people living in the Villages.

As someone up-thread said - you have to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I personally don't know of any specific clubs for authentic relating but I wouldn't doubt that there's at least one, among the over-3000 clubs!

You might want to check out the Golden Corral, I saw a bunch of people leaving there who appeared to be working hard on personal growth.

Wow, you eat at Golden Corral and admit it loud and proud on a forum no less?

No, made observation when driving by it on way to Tropical Smoothie.

Are there FB groups dedicated to TV? How do I find out about them?

There are many. The Villages Word of Mouth is one, it's mostly a match-up for local businesses and people looking for services at their homes but there's also occasional "conversations" as well.

The Villages, What's Happening is another, with no product advertisement allowed and no politics allowed (they're actually serious - first-time offenders are permanently banned).

The Villages Friendly Folks is a pretty big one. Religious discussion is not allowed but if you're looking for a specific religious-based club they can probably direct you to one.
