Role-playing is utilized, as well. Those who have attended on a regular basis, now get together for monthly bowling, trips to a museum and lunch or dinner at a diner. Topical discussion groups held with social workers include nutrition and food control, sexuality, and vocational counseling. Currently, many members are taking group tennis lessons subsidized by the Friendship Network. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced classes on Sunday mornings at Cunningham Park in Queens.
Members usually go to the diner for lunch afterwards.
Chi classes were offered for a while, but there were insufficient funds to continue this activity. Hopefully, these classes will resume in the near future. Occasionally, the Friendship Network has a social event. One member expressed the hope the evening would never end. Crowning all the Friendship Network activities is the annual summer barbecue held in Cunningham Park.
