Overview
About the event
It�??s now been 10 years since Friendship Month started and many new friendships have been forged in that time. Taking time to honor friendships during the month has also encouraged many people to finally reach out to old friends they�??ve been meaning to reconnect with for a long time.
Friendship Month began with the intervention of some people known as The Oddfellows. They are officially known as The Grand United Order of Oddfellows Friendly Society (GUOOFS), an international fraternity that is believed to have been established in 1730s England.
Odd Fellows came up with the idea of Friendship Month to bring people together and help people to beat loneliness by meeting other people looking for new friendships. It continues to thrive and it�??s no surprise when you consider just how important these social ties are to us all.
