Brief History of Our Club
The Greater Sacramento Chapter of Friendship Force was founded in 1988 by Helmut Schroeder. Helmut talked
to friends, co-workers, and even relatives to form the nucleus of a dozen or so interested parties. The first outbound exchange
was to Bogota, Colombia. The first club we hosted was from Arnhem, the Netherlands. Over the years we have hosted clubs from
Japan, Chile, Italy, England, Germany, Kyrgystan, Costa Rica, Turkey, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand and Russia. We have
traveled as a club to Australia, Nepal, New Zealand, Japan, England, Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Chile and Sweden.
From the first group of 12 our membership has grown 10 fold. We look forward to many years of making new friends around
the world and hopefully these friendships will help bring the peace we all pray for. We are always looking for new members.
If this has interest for you please contact Helen Flach, our membership director at kwflach@aol.com.
