Membership Renewal 

FFLA Membership dues are renewed yearly.  Your renewal date is one year from your last renewal. 

You will receive automated notices beginning two months before your membership is due to be renewed.  

Please consider renewing On-line. It is quick and easy. 

When paying on-line please be sure to update you profile if you have phone, address or email changes.

If paying by check be sure to make check payable to Friendship Force Los Angeles (do not abbreviate to FFLA.) And please send application form with check so that we have your most current information.

The climate of the World continues changing.  More than ever, now is the time to stand together and celebrate our friends throughout the World.  Be like Jimmy Carter and celebrate Friendship Force's mission of fostering global understanding, bridging the cultural divides and barriers that might separate people.  Continue to honor the connections and friendships enriching our lives and humankind.

Journey updates: Next week, AC Pat Gomez will take eight other ambassadors on an outbound journey to FF Knoxville, TN.  The FF Knoxville Club will provide the group with a variety of experiences and adventures, highlighting the best of what Knoxville has to offer.  Then four ambassadors will continue on to Nashville, exploring the music and food of that area. 

As Co-ACs, Laura Clines and Sumi Arnheim are working with Norderstedt, Germany Co-HCs to plan an outbound journey in September.  In October, we hope to host FF Chiang Mai, Thailand.  If you have any ideas or would like to help with this inbound journey, please reach out to Co-HCs Sharon Lavenberg and Judy Francis.  More information to follow.

Thanks to all who came to our March 16th "3 at 3" event in Sherman Oaks. We enjoyed the camaraderie and all the "green" or Irish dishes.  We had time to visit; meeting our newest members and guests.  Our business meeting minutes can be found in the "For Members" section of our website. 

Due to Easter, we are skipping our April event.  We hope you'll join us on Sunday, May 18th at 1:30 (NEW TIME) in Claremont.  We plan on touring the California Botanic Garden.  An announcement email has gone out.  Once registered, you will get the specific details.  Registration closes on May 7th so don't wait to register!

As always, we welcome your involvement and interest; your participation is critical in keeping our club healthy.  

In friendship,

Sumi Arnheim, FFLA Leadership Team Chair
