It is a truism that in order to make friends, you have to be a friend. This sounds so simple, but it is a lot more than it sounds. Here is a list of 10 things to help you be a friend: * **Enjoy people** – Tell yourself, “I'm going to try to enjoy this conversation.” Loosen up. * **Express** – Don't hide who you are. Tell people the first thing you think about. Let them know your thoughts. * **Hear them out** – People are sacred. They deserve your full attention and understanding. Take care and take time to hear them out. * **Share** – Share your food, share your time, share your money (within reason), share your thoughts and ideas. Be willing to receive things other people share, too. * **Find commonalities** – Chances are you can find something in common with everyone you meet. * **Take initiative** – Don't wait. Be the person to start a conversation. You have to take the lead sometimes. * **Be willing to make mistakes** – Not everyone you meet are good people. It's okay to be hurt by people, as long as you survive to tell the tale. Hey, tell it as a war story to the new friend you make! * **Be positive** – No one wants to talk to someone who is negative all the time. It's okay to be hurt; it's okay to have problems, but do you want your hurts and your problems to define who you are? Be who you want to be, which at least is a positive person. * **Take responsibility for people** – Take the responsibility to help strangers and acquaintances simply because you know you want to. * **Tell them good things you are aware of** – If you know of an amazing sale, tell them. If you know of something really fun, tell them. If you know of a really good place, tell them. Take action! Come to our upcoming free Zoom meetings and put the above tips to practice right away! Remember: In order to make friends, you have to be a friend. Be a friend. Let's start! (Watch the inspiring video below, which is custom made for this meetup group.) This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center, to help people improve interpersonal relationships, social life, and make more friends.

Hello there\~! Welcome to Friends in Central Florida; we look forward to seeing you at future events. I, Terri, have rescued this Meetup from oblivion by stepping up into the Organizer position. That means I am assuming the role of paying for the group so don't you worry your pretty little heads. Stand by for events to be scheduled by former co-organizers hopefully because I am currently in Ohio. Feel free to message me via Meetup. \*The former Organizer wrote this\* If you want to attend or post other RANDOM FUN or indoor FUN events might we suggest: [https://www.meetup.com/Random-Fun-Stuff-I-Want-To-Do-On-a-Short-Notice-Club/](https://www.meetup.com/Random-Fun-Stuff-I-Want-To-Do-On-a-Short-Notice-Club/) For one day or multi-day FUN BIKE TRIPS check out [https://www.meetup.com/funbiketrips/](https://www.meetup.com/funbiketrips/) and [www.funbiketrips.com](www.funbiketrips.com) For best kayak day outings [Sandy Feet Kayak Adventures | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/sandy-feet-kayak-adventures/) Also for more serious Tampa Bay Cycling events please join [https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Bay-Cycling/](https://www.meetup.com/Tampa-Bay-Cycling/) Boiler plate Negative or adversarial comments, posts or actions will result in removal and banning of the offending party. OVERNIGHT FUN BIKE or KAYAK TRIPS, We are Thinking of Florida, Gulf Coast and also Key West when it is cold up north, as well as NYC at Labor Day weekend when city is pretty empty, and a Door County week on Lake Michigan and also the 326 mile Ohio to Erie Trail to escape the summer heat here. So if you want information on multi-day biking or kayaking events just sign up below to get first offerings. We anticipate no more than 14 emails a year. For Biking Trips Sign up at >> [https://vr2.verticalresponse.com/s/websitesignupform40681930231007](https://vr2.verticalresponse.com/s/websitesignupform40681930231007) For Kayaking Trips Sign up at >> [https://vr2.verticalresponse.com/s/websitesignupform0106202220617pm](https://vr2.verticalresponse.com/s/websitesignupform0106202220617pm) Once you sign up please immediately check your email, if you don't see a follow-up confirm opt in check spam. We are using a double opt in and some folks with yahoo, gmail, hotmail, msn say they went into spam. Until you click second email you are not going to get newsletter. If it is in spam, just click NOT SPAM, then OPT IN. Don't send instant messages through meetup to folks you haven't met. Propositions to meet outside of meetup events to a virtual stranger is creepy. Of course a relevant message to an event host regarding an upcoming meetup is different. Thank you for that consideration. Players there are plenty of other sites if you just want to hook up one on one, don't make folks feel unsafe here. If you have done a meetup with someone and want to send them a good to see/meet you followup to me that is totally different, but if they do not reply or aren't interested don't be a "meetup creep". Of course it's great if folks "meetup" and some magic develops. So please remember while it is fun to "meetup", this group is not "hookup.com" or "match.com". Not everyone here is single or seeking a romance. Remember if you receive an unsolicited message or suspicious or inappropriate behavior, please report it to Paul S, it is grounds for dismissal of violating party. They probably are spamming others here and in other groups.

Fun Florida Outdoor Adventures is a meetup group\. Attending events or trips is voluntary by you as a member\. Participation in any activity with us by you is at your own risk\.

By participating voluntarily in the group\, you expressly waive any and all such claims against each and every other member and their guests in the group\, including without limitation any and all claims against the group organizers\, co\-organizers\, assistant organizers\, and event hosts\. 4\. Any social events or trips that Fun Florida Outdoor Adventures sponsors\, holds or provides information about will fall also under the same Disclaimer and Liability guidelines listed above\. 5\. Re kayaking\, The [Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission](https://myfwc.com/boating/regulations/) sets the rules and regulations for all motorized and non-motorized watercraft. While kayakers do not have to follow all of the same rules as motorized vessels, some of the rules and regulations do apply. Life Jackets-Every child in your kayak under the age of 6 must wear a Coast Guard-approved [personal flotation device](https://www.trails.com/list_231_best-life-jackets-kayaking.html) (PFD) while the kayak is moving. For everyone over the age of 6, there must be an approved PFD available inside the kayak unless the kayak is being used within a "swimming, surfing, or bathing area." While those over the age of 6 are not required to wear their life jackets, it's good practice to keep your life jacket on and securely fastened while you are on the water. Sound Device-Kayakers are required to carry a sound-making device that can be heard for at least one-half nautical mile when the kayak is in use. A whistle or horn are the most commonly used sound devices. The sound device is required in the event that you need to alert other boaters of your presence in order to avoid a collision. The sound device can also be used to signal for help should you find yourself in trouble and require assistance. To signal distress, blow hard into your whistle three times in a row. Most kayakers will attach a whistle to their life jacket where it is easily accessible. Lights-When kayaking between sunset and sunrise, or during periods of reduced visibility such as fog or rain, kayakers are required to carry a white light onboard their kayak. The kayaker is to display the [light](https://www.trails.com/facts_40180_kayak-safety-lighting.html) if another vessel approaches, to avoid a possible collision. Most kayakers use a flashlight or lantern as their light. Take note that the light should not be continually displayed, but shown only when other vessels are approaching. Registration-Kayaks do not have to be registered in the state of Florida unless they have a motor. Law Enforcement-According to state law, law enforcement officers have the authority to stop you while you are kayaking to check and make sure you are complying with all safety laws. Law enforcement officers also have the authority to order the removal or relocation of your kayak if it is deemed a hazard to public safety or is found to be interfering with the navigation of other vessels. Manatee Awareness-Manatees in Florida and around the world are listed as vulnerable, meaning their populations are declining. There are an estimated 6,130 manatees in Florida and they are protected by state and federal law. Anything that disrupts a manatee's normal behavior is punishable by law and could result in a $50,000 fine or land you in jail for a year. Should you be lucky enough to see a manatee while you are in your kayak, maintain a respectable distance and let the animal have its space.  Seagrass Awareness -Seagrasses are the main source of food for marine herbivores such as manatees and green sea turtles. In some Florida waters it is a violation of state law to damage seagrass beds. While kayaking, stay within channels and avoid taking shortcuts through seagrass beds. Seagrass beds are marked as light green or by the letters "grs" on navigational charts. General Safety-In addition to following all of the kayaking safety rules and regulations, it's important to follow [general safety tips](https://www.trails.com/list_33297_kayak-safety-tips.html), too. • Let someone know where you will be kayaking. • Check your [kayak](https://www.trails.com/facts_33305_anatomy-kayak.html) for leaks or points of weakness before entering the water. • Whenever possible, kayak with a buddy. • Be aware of obstructions in the water that could trap your boat and throw you out of it. • Be aware of other boats and know that motorized watercraft may not see you. • Wear appropriate clothing, including sun protection.  • Pay attention to the [weather](https://www.trails.com/how_973_read-weather-sea-kayaking.html) and do not go out on the water if hazardous conditions are expected. 6\. No hate zone\. Please avoid any hateful comments\, profanity\, political ranting or rhetoric\. We will ban rabble rousers\. Let's keep this a friendly positive place\. Do you have some fun ideas for events? If you want to be an event host so you may post an outing just let Paul S know. The cool thing about hosting is you pick, the what, where and when of things that you want to do!  The more variety of event types, venues and hosts the better.

Your input is valued and you’re welcome to offer suggestions!

Do you like to read and welcome a diverse assortment of book genres? Do you enjoy refreshing drinks, delicious meals, exploring local establishments, venues, events and activities? Are you looking to meet new people and make new friends? 

This Meet Up group is focused on allowing ladies to meet and discuss books while enjoying some of the above activities (but not limited to the above activities!) while discussing the group's book of the month. 

Didn't get a chance to read the current book? That's okay, we would like to see you anyway. We are a friendly and inviting group and will make you feel welcome, so don't hesitate to join the fun!

There are even gatherings where books aren't brought up at all and we will just be out exploring...

Most meetings will take place in the general vicinity of Altamonte Springs and surrounding area (Lake Mary, Winter Park, Maitland, Orlando, Casselberry, etc.). 

How we choose our books and calendar of events: During each monthly book club meeting, each lady present makes an anonymous suggestion for the next month's Book, Book Review Venue and Exploring Destination. We draw... and voila - There you have it! Our next schedule of events has been determined. Sometimes we add events that just seem fun to our calendar as well. 

Take a look at the Events Page for detailed information on our current book and venue of the month.
