Arcadia Senior Friendship Club Celebrates 40 Years

The Friendship Club, hosted at Assistance League of Arcadia, celebrates forty years of “The Frienshippers” on March 21, 2012, at the Chapter House of Assistance League of Arcadia, for a luncheon and guest speaker, Betty Harris who helped form the club. In 1972 she was the Senior Services Director and she is now retired. Member Ethel Pomeroy, who has been with The Friendship Club the longest, will also speak about her experiences. The festivities will begin at 11 a.m.
The Friendship Club is a group of men and women who are fun loving seniors. They meet for fellowship, games, lunch, and holiday parties. They have been enjoying good times together since 1972 and they always welcome new members! They meet on Wednesdays at the Assistance League of Arcadia Chapter House. The Assistance League serves pie and coffee.
The Friendship Club started with the goal of providing a venue for senior citizens to gather for some comradery and fun. Over the years the organization has evolved and become an integral part of the community.
Assistance League of Arcadia was founded in 1954 and became the 22nd chapter of National Assistance League. We currently have over 120 active members of diverse backgrounds, ages, and occupations. Assistance League of Arcadia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-sectarian organization that donates over 26,000 hours and $135,000 annually to the chapter’s community service programs. We presently serve the communities of Alhambra, Arcadia, Duarte, Monrovia, Rosemead, San Gabriel, and Temple City.
