Friendship Force
Become a Host One of the best ways to promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people is to host an ambassador in your home. Show them your community, city, country and culture, and learn about theirs over meals, laughter, and shared experiences. Travel the world Be welcomed into someone’s home. Immerse yourself in their local culture. Invite travelers from other places into your own home and proudly share your culture with them. Since 1977, the travel exchange movement pioneered by Friendship Force International has given people the unique opportunity to connect in ways that transcend boundaries to promote goodwill, respect, and understanding. This kind of intimate, life changing experience may not be for everyone, but for thousands of Friendship Force members worldwide, the personal relationships we’ve established are a powerful and authentic way to impact positive change and empathy around the world. MAKE FRIENDS ACROSS THE WORLD Become an ambassador of the Friendship Force today.

Explore: We explore new countries and regions. We explore new cultures and new ways to connect across the barriers that separate us. Understand: By sharing a home, meals, conversation and everyday experiences, people become friends, seeing beyond governments and borders into the heart of a country and its people. By combining home hospitality with cultural exploration, we reach a new level of understanding. Serve: Exploration leads to understanding. Understanding leads to an acceptance of our common humanity and the desire to serve our global village – with words and actions. www.facebook.com/ friendshipforceofdenver Next Monthly Zoom Meeting Tuesday, May 11, 2021

What an upside-down world we are dealing with right now. Social distancing, masks, isolation, and even the definition of Zoom have taken on new meaning. On a Friendship Force club personal note, there are not even in-person monthly meetings, social activities, or MLB outings scheduled. And most importantly, the heartbeat of Friendship Force, inbound and outbound journeys, has been silenced. So how do we, as individual club members, remain connected to each other when we can’t chat, laugh, hug, or share…together and face-to-face? The May program intends to be a reminder to us that our friendships with each other will survive – yes, even thrive – after this pandemic is history. And staying connected to each other should help guarantee that our Denver Friendship Force club won’t become history, either. Thus, this month’s program will be about us, for us, by us. Join the evening’s fun and frivolity as we share some cool, even weird, things about ourselves with each other. We may still be in those little Zoom boxes, but each of us will have a chance to share with questions like “What other careers did you consider before choosing the one you did?” or “What is one interesting place you have parked your car?” or “What comes to mind when you think of sticky things?” Also, we would love for you to wear a hat (or other fun thing) on your head that represents something about you. And we’ll share all this frivolity and friendship together!! Co-hosts of this May program will be our very own Jeannette Armbrustmacher and Luree Miller. And Zoom information will come to you from our very own president, Gerry Forney. So stay tuned…and we’ll all Zoom together on Tuesday, May 11th! Don’t forget!! |
