Real People. Real Connections. Real Life.
Hey, friend! Thanks for stopping by So Cal’s first strictly offline community where we trade wireless connection for human connection. The intention of The Friendship Club is to combat the current epidemic of isolation and loneliness by mending our relationships to technology and each other. We do this using pre-internet activities like board/card games, puzzles, coloring, reading and more. Scroll down to learn more and to purchase tickets for events!
