Grand Junction Friendship Force members recently traveled to Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, where they stayed with Japanese Friendship Force hosts, toured sights and experienced Japanese culture. In June 2024, Grand Junction welcomed the Japan Friendship Force Club for a reciprocal visit, fostering connections across cultures.

Grand Junction Friendship Force is a travel and culture club that meets monthly at the Red Cross Community Room, 506 Gunnison Ave., every third Saturday at 1 p.m. For more information, call 970‑260‑8546
