After a year of no speakers because of mandated virus precautions, venues down here in Florida are beginning to open their activity calendars.

Recently, I’ve been successful in scheduling my Author Talks at retirement facilities because their residents are year-round and a reliable audience is possible.

On the other hand, retirement communities in 55+ parks have advised that a good portion of their residents will not be available until the 2022 winter season. Some of them never arrived [mostly restricted Canadians] and snowbirds are beginning the exodus to their northern homes.

Nothing to do but move each of these venues forward in my personal calendar and cross my fingers that they’ll be open to my Author Talk next year.
