What is Friendship Force?
Friendship Force is a non-profit international organization that promotes cultural understanding through personal contact. The Friendship Force of Knoxville utilizes travel as a means to meet people from different cultures and places rather than emphasizing the place itself. By being a guest in other people's homes and by inviting them to be a guest in our homes, we believe we can break barriers that divide us.
Change the way you see the world!
- Make friends around the world
- Stay in homes of people around the world
- Host in your home people from around the world
- Foster International good will
- Enhance cross-cultural understanding

Note from the President
Thanks to the 29 members who responded to the Member Interest Survey.
Based on your responses, the FFK Board has decided to hold meetings both in the evening and at lunch time.
This month we will meet on Tuesday, March 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church (TVUUC). Dessert and light refreshments will be provided. Other months, we will meet for lunch at restaurants and possibly other places. We hope gathering at different times will allow more members to participate. We may also schedule virtual programs when appropriate.
The fourth Tuesday will remain our meeting date. Exception—a Welcome Dinner for an inbound FF club will occur when the club is visiting. The Welcome Dinner will replace our monthly meeting. For example, FFK will have a potluck Welcome Dinner for the inbound Western Colorado ambassadors on Monday, April 24 at TVUUC. We will not have a meeting on April 25. All FFK members are encouraged to attend the Welcome Dinner.
I hope to see you on Tuesday, March 28, when our own FFK member Sonja DuBois will be our speaker.
Jayne Raparelli, President
