"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – Shirley MacLaine



As we celebrate the 4th of July, we are thankful to our founding fathers and the many patriots who fought for our freedom from Great Britain.  We can honor our freedom by remembering Friendship Force's mission--fostering global understanding, bridging cultural divides and barriers that might separate people. Keep honoring connections and friendships that enrich our lives and the world in general.

Journey updates: 

Plans continue for the Outbound Journey to FF Norderstedt, Germany          (Sept. 9 to 16). Co-ACs, Laura Clines and Sumi Arnheim are working with FF Norderstedt Co-HCs on the arrangements.  Ambassadors will be meeting via Zoom to go over details.

In October, FFLA hopes to welcome ambassadors from FF Chiang Mai, Thailand (Oct. 22 to Oct. 29).  Co-HCs Sharon Lavenberg and Judy Francis continue to work with Chiang Mai Ambassador Coordinator.  If you are willing to help or have any activity ideas, please let Sharon & Judy or any Leadership Team member know.  We are still in need of day hosts and small group dinner hosts. We will share information as it is available.

We hope you'll join us on Sunday, July 20th at 12:45 (NEW TIME) for our July "3 at 3".  An announcement just went out so please check your email.  The information can also be found in "Upcoming Events", bottom left corner on our home page.

In friendship,

Sumi Arnheim, FFLA Leadership Team Chair
