Friendship Force of Northern Colorado

The Friendship Force of Northern Colorado (serving Loveland, Ft. Collins, Greeley, Longmont, Windsor and surrounding areas) is the local face of Friendship Force International, an organization that promotes and facilitates people-to-people exchanges between its members in 364 clubs in 57 countries throughout the world.

Friendship Force is non-sectarian and non-political;  the goal is to foster lifelong friendships and understanding throughout the globe.

Friendship Force of Northern Colorado (FFNC) has 11 meetings per year, on the second Friday of each month during which we have speakers on a variety of timely international or cultural topics. Often we share the memories and insights of recent Exchanges with other countries.  We also learn of upcoming opportunities to travel as out-going Ambassadors or to serve as hosts for incoming groups. 

Meetings are located at the Faith United Church of Christ, 1020 Walnut, in WIndsor at 7:00 P.M. unless otherwise noted in the current newsletter.

All meetings are free and open to the public. Please contact us for additional information.

May 11 Meeting - Libraries of Love Project

We hope that you joined us on May 11 to hear Dave Mills present our May program about the Libraries of Love Project in which he, his wife Diane, and 12 others created libraries at three elementary schools in Mbale, Uganda.

This project, in June, 2011, was one of many trips for this non-profit group that has created a total of 24 libraries in Uganda over the past 8 years.

Mountain States Regional Conference

We joined the Cowboy State members of the Cheyenne Wyoming FF club as they hosted the biennial Regional Conference this year, the weekend of April 27 & 28.  This Conference provided a great time, with marvelous entertainment (including Beginning Square Dancing with our own Dennis Miller), informative and thought-provoking workshops, lots of food, a trolley ride within this Capital city and chances to wander among the downtown shops.

Northern Colorado was well represented, with more than 20 of us in attendance.
