What we’re about
Welcome to Friends Social Network!
There are many social groups in Southern California with specific age or target interests, but our group strives to be an open venue for all adults and interests. Meet new friends and do activities together with less restrictions so that you may truly enjoy things you love to do within an open social environment.
As an open general group, we actively do collaborations with other meetup groups to foster greater friendship circle. Anyone can join.
So, please come and enjoy your life to its fullest!
FYI: Please if you sign up for an event but cannot attend, kindly remove your RSVP so that others can enjoy the event. Thank you so much.
