1982 JOURNEYS
Friendship Force of Memphis
Journeys From a Long Time Ago!
We were chartered in 1982. In April of that year, 123 Ambassadors made that first exciting exchange to Enchede, Netherlands. Since then, we have made over 50 journeys, or exchanges.
Due to the lack of detailed information available for these early journeys, no photos, or summaries exist.
The information in this section is provided from the Friendship Force of Memphis Cookbook.
