When the workweek came to an end, they looked up to the sky, exclaimed \u201cThank God It\u2019s Friday\u201d, and promptly headed for the neighborhood bar. Once there, they enjoyed a drink or two, some snacks provided by the bartender, and conversation with their friends, co-workers, and even total strangers. After an hour or two, everyone headed for home, out to dinner, or a weekend getaway. Life was good.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, everything comes to an end. As they grew older, they started devoting more and more time to attending Little League games, soccer\u00a0games, dance recitals, etc., and found that they now had little time for celebrating Fridays. Eventually, they stopped going altogether.<br \/>\nWe now jump forward with our story to 2001, when a few of these former partyers, now happily retired in Laguna Woods Village, started reminiscing about those Fridays of long ago, and, with great foresight, decided to recreate them.<br \/>\nTGIF was born sometime in March (no one is quite sure of the date, but it was sometime around St. Patrick\u2019s Day) of 2001. The organizers were expecting 50 to 100 people to show up, if that. When upward of 500 showed up and they had to turn many away, they knew they had something good.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A social club devoted to fun through dancing and making friends over cocktails that invites everyone to join most Fridays at Clubhouse 2 to celebrate whatever comes to mind, with no membership requirements, live music and a no-host bar from 4 &#8211; 6 p.m., and a small charge at the door that includes snacks and door prizes<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44295,"template":"","club_type":[35],"ppma_author":[38,767,768,792],"class_list":["post-9484","club","type-club","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","club_type-dance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
