Orlando Gay Pride events are being held all next weekend, starting on Thursday and culminating with the festival and parade on Sunday, October 11, 2009, which is also, by the way, Coming Out Day!  Orlando Gay Pride’s Festival is held in Lake Eola Park.

GOGO Productions – A new social group for lesbians in Central Florida!

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

As I’ve been saying quite often lately, there seems to be an accelerating number of lesbian groups, organizations and events happening in communities across America.  This is, of course, great news for lesbians seeking a social life, especially single lesbians.   I coach all my gals in my social club for lesbians, Lez Rendezvous, to get out there and attend at least one social event a week.  Two would be even better!

Just this past week, for example, I was talking with a single lesbian who had recently attended a lesbian camping weekend.  Here in Central Florida, the scene is no different.

For example, last month, while I was in Daytona Beach running my booth at Daytona’s Gay Pride Festival, the night before Pride I had an opportunity to finally meet Dee and the ‘Just Us’ gang, an established group of lesbians from the north east coast areas of Florida who meet for a variety of social gatherings.

And, in today’s post I want to highlight for you a brand new social group for lesbians that has come onto the scene in the Central Florida/Orlando, Florida area.  The group is called

GoGo Productions (Girlz of Greater Orlando)

and it was founded by an Orlando woman whose vision it is to:

“…create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere for womyn to mingle in and make new connections. It is my profound belief as owner moderator of this group that we always keep a positive environment and that we should support one another lift each other up, rather than tear each other down. There is no reason every day can not be Gay Days here in the Greater Orlando Area! All we need is You!!”

GoGo Productions has an active social calendar, with several events per month planned.  For example, tomorrow morning is their singles brunch and June includes events such as dinner and a movie, moonlight bowling and a coffee klatch, to name just a few.

If you’re a central Florida lesbian, you need to check out GoGo Productions.  No more excuses for not having something to do this month.  You can learn more about GoGo by clicking here.

What great events, groups or organizations in your town aren’t getting the attention they should?  What do you want other lesbians in your area to know about? Lesbian women all across America read Coach Sappho’s blog and want to know what to do with their social and recreational time, so, email me and let me know the scoop so I can spread the word.

Who knows…maybe that’s how we’ll get some new faces out to your next area event.  And, if you are single, perhaps that is how you’ll meet your soul mate!?!   ;-)

Introducing Coach Sappho’s Bloggers

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

As you may know, Coach Sappho has launched a great new initiative for marriage and committed relationship-minded lesbian singles and couples called

Coach Sappho’s Bloggers for Love Across Lesbian America!

Simply put, the vision for Coach Sappho’s Bloggers for Love Acrosss Lesbian America! is to connect committed and marriage-minded lesbians across America by blogging about what’s going on in lesbian communities in towns across America when it comes to supporting the success of lesbians who are finding, creating and sustaining long term, deeply satisfying relationships. 

And, in those areas where there isn’t much going on, or where what’s going on is hard to find, our bloggers will be working to advocate for resources and/or unearth them.

This month is the first time our ‘early adopter’ bloggers have posted.  I’d like to welcome our bloggers and ask you for your help.  How can you help?
