Unless otherwise noted, Quarterly Membership Meetings are held at 2:00 PM on the first Saturday of March, June, September and December. The December meeting is traditionally our Holiday Party, and the meeting where official business and election of officers takes place. Members, guests, and interested persons are invited to attend any of our meetings.
Unless otherwise stated, meetings will be held at the Vivian J. Lincoln Library, 8829 McCart Ave., Fort Worth, TX (click for map). Details will be published in the newsletter, and provided below.
We do not plan to have a Holiday Party this year, but we will have a Quarterly Meeting to elect officers.
Details will be provided later.
Board meetings are often held immediately following our Ethnic Luncheon on the third Saturday of the month. Meetings may be online, in person, or a combination of in person and on line. No Board meeting is scheduled for those months with a quarterly meeting.
The October Board meeting will be held at 3:00 PM on October 25 at the home of Jim Young and Berry Bock.
Board meetings are open to any member who wishes to attend. Contact an officer or Board member at least 24 hours in advance, for information, if you wish to attend a Board meeting.
Our Ethnic Luncheons celebrate the rich ethnic diversity of North Texas. They are held at noon on the third Saturday of the month.

Victoria and Vancouver IslandIT'S A MATCH! Our 2027 outbound journey has been coordinated. We will be travelling to the scenic northwest to visit the Friendship Force of Victoria and Vancouver Island, some time in June.
Check back here for more details when we work out details with the host club.
Due to travel difficulties to the host club that we were assigned for 2026, we regretfully declined FFI's offer of an Ambassador Journey. Members are encouraged to check out the opportunities to join another club's Journey or visit an independent host through the FFI member portal
Sarasota, FloridaOur friends in Sarasota are (finally) going to be able to visit us this October, and we are really looking forward to showing them the area, just as they did a great job of showing us the Sarasota area in 2023.
