DFW Friends is a social organization for single people 21 years of age or older, who share our “challenge”. Our purpose is to provide a relaxed environment of fun and friendship.
“Associate” membership is available to a previous member who has married. However, voting and holding office on the board is not permitted.
Membership is $15.00 per year.
A current member or candidate will be excluded from membership for illegal activity, or improper conduct (as defined below) or for any reason the Board may find the member/candidate is not suitable for membership.
An active member may recommend the suspension or removal of a member, but a majority vote of the Executive Board is required for said suspension or removal of the member in question.
Any illegal activity at an official DFW Friends function is cause for immediate expulsion.
The use or possession of any illegal substance at a DFW Friends sanctioned event will result in the immediate expulsion of the parties involved.
Any acts of violence or harassment towards a member, prospective member, or a member’s guest at a DFW Friends sanctioned event will result in the immediate expulsion of the members involved. Inappropriate behavior, including but not limited to; lewd conduct, public intoxication, indecent exposure and public sex will result in the suspension or permanent removal from the group.
Guests may be invited to events designated as “ open” and “semi-open” in the monthly newsletter. The person hosting the function determines designation. There should be no open discussion of our “challenge” at any “open” event. Guests at “semi-open” events should be made aware of our challenge.
DFW Friends, Inc. is a social group, not an education or counseling group; OPEN DISCUSSION OF OUR CHALLENGE IS DISCOURAGED AT ANY EVENT, especially at events in public places. If a new member raises the subject, please keep the discussion private and discreet.
Access to the mailing and phone lists is limited to the DFW Friends Executive Board ONLY. The term of office is one year unless re-elected. One-year Office terms begin each January.
If you have an idea for an event, please contact the Event Coordinator. However, your help to organize the event and/or host would be appreciated.
If you are interested in seeing someone in the group socially, outside of group events, it is your responsibility to ask them for their phone number. DFW FRIENDS takes no responsibility for relationships developed through participation in the group.
Although we have no ban on picture taking, please use discretion when taking pictures. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES AT RANDOM. Please ASK first whether a member is interested in having their picture taken or not.
