Real People. Real Connections. Real Life.
Hey, friend, I’m Ali (alison) Mode! Are you glued to your phone a little too much like I am? If so, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve created a strictly offline community where we trade wireless connection for human connection. The mission of The Friendship Club is to combat the epidemic of isolation and loneliness by mending our relationships to technology and each other. We’ll do this together using pre-internet activities like board/card games, puzzles, coloring, reading, cross-wording, journaling, and more. Scroll down to learn more and to join me by reserving your spot for weekly in-person events!
