The Villages Blues Society thrives because of the time, energy and heart poured into it by an incredible community of volunteers.

Behind every gathering, event and shared moment is a group of dedicated individuals who give selflessly to create something meaningful for everyone.

Their commitment transforms simple ideas into memorable experiences, building a sense of belonging that defines what the Blues Society is all about.

From organizing events and coordinating activities to welcoming new members and lending a helping hand wherever it's needed, these volunteers are the backbone of the club.

They bring creativity, enthusiasm and care to every detail, often working behind the scenes without recognition.

It's their generosity and teamwork that ensure The Villages Blues Society continues to grow, evolve and remain a vibrant part of Village life.

We celebrate and thank each volunteer for the countless hours and genuine passion they contribute.

Their efforts don't just stain the Blues Society, they elevate it, making it a place where friendships flourish and community spirit shines.

Because of them the The Villages Blues Society isn't just a club, it's a living, breathing reflection of what people can accomplish together.

Bob Kealing (Author) & Rev. C. Wirtz (WMNF Radio) (08/19/2026)

The Villages Blues Society will host author Bob Kealing and WMNF radio personality Rev. Billy C. Wirtz for a screening of their film

"The Florida Chitlin` Circuit"

This will be a 45-minute documentary that explores Florida's vibrant mid-20th-century circuit for Black entertainers. Through interviews with R&B and blues legends the film offers stories from those who lived and loved the scene.

The Chitlin’ Circuit was the collective name given to a series of Black-owned nightclubs, dance halls, juke joints, theaters and other venues that were safe and acceptable for African American entertainers to perform in during segregation.

**Music and question and answer session will follow.**
