There's a lot of forums within the main Forum here. Have you tried the Southeast section of Events & Regional forum?

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=42

or, simply Google or Yahoo "florida corvette clubs."

I joined a club once - the Corvette Club of Baltimore back in 1969. It was one of the first, if not THE first Corvette Club in the country. My uncle was one of its founders. It was fun at first then became very "click" oriented (the autocrossers; the people that showed their cars; the rallye folks, etc.) so I bailed and haven't joined one since. Going to different local events I've noticed for the most part that if you don't belong to the "club" sponsoring the event, you don't belong, or you're snubbed like you drive a Mustang. Clubs are fine for those that enjoy them but I bought a Corvette(s) for the car and its technololgy, not for club participation or to satisfy others.

sounds like you did not fit in and you were wise to bail BUT i tell corvette owners to try a club because there are some very nice people there and some i met thru the club 45 years ago are still my close friends.

Your best bet would be to attend club meetings for both club, soak in atmosphere and go from there...If there are special interests you have, make sure you go with the group you think you would be most happy with...
