"Where Europeans and Europhiles can meet and make friends"

The aim of this group is to bring together internationally-minded people with a European affinity. Through convivial cross-cultural social gatherings we are building a vibrant circle of cosmopolitan friends who meet, talk, exchange experiences, practice their language skills, or just relax and feel at home.

Anyone born in Europe or who has lived there or has some other strong European connection is welcome. If an expatriate, you might have just recently relocated to the U.S. or be a long-time naturalized citizen. Current members include folks from Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine.

Newcomers are particularly welcome. Come on your own or with a friend. You'll discover a friendly group where mingling is mandatory! We usually meet every two weeks for drinks and appetizers. Other meetings happen in conjunction with cultural events or other activities. Members also contribute information to the group calendar about other events in the Bay Area that may be of interest to the European-Europhile community.
