Orlando

Good evening!

My name is Annette, and I currently live in Memphis. I will be relocating to Orlando within the month and was hoping that someone could provide me some good info on how to "plug in" to my people (smile). I would like to meet other liberals/democrats. Can anyone offer suggestions?

Thanks!
Annette

p.s. I'm also "new age" and looking to plug into that community as well. Sigh - I know I'm going into repug territory, there is no help for it. I can only say that I'll bring a strong democratic energy and I plan to start out by signing up to volunteer for Alan Grayson!

I'm near Daytona Beach, approximately 40 miles north of orlando; however, for spirituality you will be very close to Cassadaga. You can find information regarding Cassadaga by google or going to this link: cassadaga.org

There are many links for Cassadaga. Love your volunteering for Alan Grayson idea. If I were closer I would be doing the same.

Again, welcome.

in 2008. So at least we got that going for us.


I am really not sure what all "New age" entails but you might be interested in Cassadega just north of Orlando near Deland.
