We've been coming here for a couple of months now and everyone we've met is very friendly.

For the services that we've gone for they have been very reliable and understanding.

I'm LOVING this new coworking space in Orlando!…read more First off- It's in Orlando's historic (and fabulous) Church Street Exchange Building. I swear, sometimes it feels like I'm walking down the stairs at the Gatsby Estate. Next, this space is geared towards tech start-ups and related fields. This means that everyone that's working alongside you is doing something creative and crazy cool. The networking alone on a daily basis is worth the membership fee! (Spoken like a non-techie...) The space itself is open-plan and reminds me of the Yelp headquarters in San Fran (or any tech hub in that city). Wide long tables allow you to work alongside new people or change your scenery and move over to the couches. They also have a shared kitchen with water, coffee, and even a few beer kegs for after-hour mingling! Probably one of the coolest features is the meeting space. Canvs has quite a few conference rooms of different sizes for large groups as well as small. Each room can be reserved for the day (for a very low fee compared to other meeting spaces) and you get to hold meetings in one of the coolest 'offices' in Orlando. Don't miss the bike rack wall! Making me feel like a total tool for driving, but also working with the SunRail tracks just outside the windows to serve as a not-so-subtle reminder that there are other transportation options in this town!! ~Yay!~ Drop in ($25 day pass) to check it out and soak in how cool this city is getting!!

Walking in and seeing the fountain is always a highlight. The Canvs space is large with mostly desks for rent throughout. My favorite part of my Canvs membership is their conference rooms. They have three sizes ranging from small (2-3 people), medium (6-7 people) and large (15+ people). Most of the rooms have whiteboards and all have large tv monitors for screen sharing. The kitchen is truly awesome! My guests always enjoy the free snacks (peanut butter pretzels anyone?) and freshly brewed coffee. I have been a member now for nearly a couple years and highly recommend it. The people are great and the space productive. Check it out!

There are some amazing things about this theatre space…read more I love the way the doors can slide open so on nice Orlando nights it's like an open air entrance. I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026…read more Front Row, Center Tickets to Ms. Diana Ross' Concert Performance I've been to numerous events at the Dr. Phillips Center but nothing beats having the opportunity to see a legend perform within arms-length to where you're seated. And when that "Icon of Icons" is none other than Ms. Diana Ross...well, nothing else need be said. It was a dream come true to say the least. In my most previous update of the Dr. Phillips Center I indicated meeting with and having my photograph taken with the incredible soprano Sarah Brightman was an entertainment highlight of 2025. 2026 has just begun but I will have to use the superlative "spectacular" once again. As in a spectacular show from start to finish. Diana Ross may be 81 years old!...but she still has the voice and ahem...the moves of a much younger performer. Just think of this, she was performing with the Supremes in the 1960's. I wasn't even born and by the time I was she had 12 number one singles with the OG of girl groups! And she is still working it to this day. Ms. Ross sung a multitude of her hits which kept the crowd, and my sister and I, dancing and singing throughout the evening. However, when she started to belt out Gloria Gaynor's anthem "I Will Survive" that really got the audience out of their seats. An Icon singing and Iconic piece of music is an experience second to none. Ms. Ross, you and your mark on music history is unmatched...blessings to you and your family!

At first I felt excited and nervous, just because it's a new experience for me.However, Nicole, Blake, Megan & even Ms. Ivann made me feel so welcome! I joined in on a culinary class based on sauces, stocks and soups and the guests did an amazing job. The concept of the volunteer is to guide the guests & just be a kind person in their culinary journey This venue is breathtaking, the kitchen is awesome and the knowledge you gain is so worth the experience. I will definitely be back to volunteer again! The guests made: mac and cheese, green bean casserole, kale soup & an awesome salad with the veggies sourced from their own garden Please take a class! I know i definitely want to!

The Kitchen House is a not-for-profit garden and cooking school that focuses on teaching healthy…read moreplant-forward recipes to adults and children. Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.

I started buying general gifts for 1 boy & 1 girl. Usually young adolescents that are hard to choose for. After a couple of years I decided to just buy bicycles. I remember being a kid & a brand new Christmas bike was amazing. I've been donating 2 bikes now for many years. 3 or 4 yrs ago I became aware of the senior program so I chose a man & a woman & buy things on their wish/needs lists. My kids are grown & I do not have grandchildren so I am dedicated to utilizing this great program to give to those less fortunate than myself. The Salvation Army does great things like this & I just wish they would advertise it more.

Those gifts are then grouped together and assigned a number. Families are given a time and day to pick up their gifts. One can volunteer for a 4 hour shift where they will be introduced to a member of the family and given a sheet directing you to their gifts. You and a partner will then pick up their gifts, help the family member select a stocking or teddy bear and then help them to their car with the gifts. This volunteer event is very well organized, and the people are so grateful for the gifts. I highly recommend giving this volunteer opportunity a try. I believe this event only occurs in December each year. ***Please note*** The location of this event moves around so please check with the Salvation Army before you go.

This is a Christmas volunteer opportunity…read more Families pre-register online with the Marines. They are then given a date and time to pick up their gifts which have been donated by people in the community. As a volunteer, you go to the designated distribution center, and there are several different ways to help. The most common is as a runner. Runners are given a sheet with the name of the family and the kids (by age) who are receiving the toys. You pick up the corresponding toy bags (for the age of the child), and you bring them out to the family member. Other ways to help include: checking people in, sorting toys, unloading the toy shipments and assembling toy bags. We really enjoyed volunteering for Toys for Tots, but it is a little less organized for first timers than some of the other volunteer options we have tried. It's still rewarding, and makes a huge difference for many families in the community. Check it out! The location and dates of this volunteer opportunity may vary each year.
