Ever think that you might want to pick up the old instrument again and play with other musicians as a social hobby? Looking for part time musicians interested in playing classical music in Lake County (based in Mount Dora). Individuals who play an orchestral instrument currently or played in the past (like high school, college, etc.) are encouraged to participate by performing with the whole group or in smaller ensembles --- all in good fun. All skill levels are welcomed! If you don't play an instrument but love to listen to the classics, please join us too. Events will be scheduled once an acceptable number of musicians sign up. Planning to have first practice in Spring of 2023. Must be 18+ to join. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at lake.co.orchestra@gmail.com

Ever skipped a concert, class, sport or other event just because you didn't want to go solo, or couldn't find a buddy who had the same interest?

GROUP POLICIES: \~When you join *Mix it Up*, we ask that you **visit the website at least once a year to remain** **an active member**; this does NOT mean you cannot rejoin, just that the group is intended for members who have an active interest in our events. \~The cost to maintain this meetup group is something your organiser absorbs, and you will NEVER be asked to make contributions through the site or make donations at events. \~This group was created for people who reside within the tri-county area that *want to* get into more social circles, but may not have the opportunity. Please feel free to suggest a theme to the group coordinator, however, *sales pitches will not be tolerated;* additional required or available purchases beyond the activity cost shall be discussed with the coordinator.  Members are never pressured into purchasing goods/services beyond those specifically identified in the event. \~Times/dates are based upon the coordinator's or venue's availability and ***subject to change***.  Your patience and flexibility are greatly appreciated.  Well-received events may be repeated in the future, but feel free to suggest an alternate date. \~Your coordinator may advertise an event for which tickets are already in-hand (prepaid).  Payments secure your RSVP & will be marked accordingly against your RSVP on the event once collected *(if you are 1st to reserve, but last to pay, you may not get a ticket).*  **We do NOT use meetup's WePay site** for payments due to service fees. Payments accepted by cash or by PayPal ONLY - using the FRIENDS & FAMILY option (no fee).  PayPal is secure, easy, and FREE.  Conditions for refunds (when applicable) will be identified in the event. Members always have the option of buying their own ticket directly from the venue, at their own risk. \~This site is for people who are looking to do things together, however, it is not a dating site.  **Members who are abusive, disruptive, disrespectful, or act inappropriately during an event, or through communication with other members will be removed and may be subjected to being permanently banned from the group.** \~All tickets, admission fees, in-event merchandise or food/drink purchases, parking, or other extra expenses are the member's responsibility unless otherwise listed in the event.

    **Lake County Dragon Boat Club** is a high spirited, fun loving yet competitive group of people who enjoy the dynamic & fast paced international sport of dragon boating. We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that was born out of the desire to promote the healthy benefits of competitive dragon boat racing while also making contributions to charities that benefit our local community. BUT... Here's our identity... *We are a community of fiercely independent warriors, collectively possessing a certain magical magnetism that affects both friend & foe. Although feared, we have a unique talent for assimilating foreigners into our tribe- especially attracting those who display mercurial instability like ourselves. Our spirit as warriors is driven by our intense desire for rapid & sustained movement for the ultimate pursuit of glory & booty. Above all, it is our strong sense of honor & loyalty paired with our appetite for victory that makes us a powerful & undeniable force.* **So, is this you? Looking for something new & exciting & challenging & FUN?** **Make 2022 Memorable!!!** ***SERIOUSLY.. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY JUST ARRIVE HAPPY!!!***
