Hi, Marion, Condos are what you think they are. Many condo buildings have common rooms that are used for communal activities like meetings, card games and such. Lots of these condos have special events (especially when the residents are retirees) and they hire entertainment for their meetings and for special events. I like condo jobs. They pay more than nursing homes and the audience is higher functioning and more responsive. Travel clubs are small orginizations of seniors who plan social events often involving travel to theaters, restaurants, casinos, etc. They meet weekly at places like community centers, library halls, municipal facilities. At their meetings, they usually have an entertainer. They have names like the Wednesday Travel Club or the Good Times Monday Travel Club, well you get the idea. They like a variety of acts so I cant work at the same travel club more than once a year but there are enough of them that I still do, at least, one every month, sometimes two or three. There are an awful lot of senior venues in any large community and they all hire performers.
