Orlando Social Fun

Frequently cited as the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane is a delight to watch. The Enzian is offering an opportunity to view this 1941 classic on a large cinema screen. Become immersed in the inventive storyline and its groundbreaking visual effects. It will make you think, trick your mind, and wonder through to the end. The perfect movie.

Plot summary: Following the death of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane, reporters scramble to uncover the meaning of his final utterance: 'Rosebud.'

Meetup time is 10:15 AM, outside the exterior entrance to the movie theater. Doors open at 10:30 AM, which will then allow us ample time to then locate seating for the group. The rear of the movie theater is usually a great spot. The movie starts at 11 AM.

Food and drink options are available during the movie.

Located close to downtown Orlando, but far away from the noisy nightclub bar scene there, the Wellborn is a group of three buildings from different periods dating back to 1883. The buildings are set around a fountain area created with old brick from a late 1800s hotel. This venue is a classy, inviting space to get a drink (and a bite to eat too, should you wish), have great conversations, play board games, and relax. Entrance to the courtyard and bar/lounge/kitchen building is along a windy path located to the left of the boutique hotel building.

Meetup time is at 7 PM. You may wish to arrive earlier to find parking close to the venue.

Per the Wellborn's FAQS page:

Parking in the lot behind the Wellborn is PROHIBITED. Violators will be towed.

Parking is available in the following areas:

• Any area that says “Wellborn Guest Parking”
• On Lucerne, in front of the Wellborn Hotel. Please do not double park or park in the roundabout; you will be towed.
• In the parking garage, located on Delaney.

Unofficial free street parking is located in the residential area close to the venue. Ponce De Leon Place and Lake Avenue streets, for example. This is where I normally park when I visit the Wellborn.

This is a great opportunity to learn about bees and beekeeping at the Black Hammock Bee Farm. BEEcause it's fun and educational. Additionally, honey tastes good and is great for allergies!

The class is $80 + tax if you purchase your ticket directly by phone (tel: 407-365-2337) or in person at the farm. A $7.21 fee is added for tickets purchased online via Eventbrite. The class size is limited to 20 people (though the farm may be able to accommodate a couple of extra people).

This class was scheduled by the Black Hammock Bee Farm on November 22, 2024. Should you be interested in attending, I STRONGLY suggest you purchase a ticket as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Per the bee farm, all ticket sales are final and cannot be refunded or transferred.

You will hold frames and bees (if you want to) and really immerse yourself in as a beekeeper.

This class will cover all the basics and how to be a backyard beekeeper. Class time is 9 AM to 2 PM. Lunch will be catered, and refreshments are provided throughout the class. There will be a Q&A session where you can ask Dennis The Bee Guy anything! There will also be yummy Honey Tasting and you can visit the farm store!

NOTE: Pants and closed-toe shoes are required. NO yoga pants, NO holes in pants. If you (unlikely) have a bee suit, please bring it. The farm will have extra bee suits for those who do not have one.

Meetup time at the bee farm is 8:30 AM. The class starts at 9 AM. Free parking is available at the farm.
