Members and guests range in age from early 20s, 30s, and 40s, to some who are of a more distinguished age. This includes international students, managers, lawyers, doctors, bankers, retailers, real estate professionals, CEOs, accountants, artists, clerks, travel agents, psychologists, therapists, and engineers - singles, couples of all ages and ethnicities, many in long-term committed relationships for years or even decades, that share a common background and purpose: friendship and mutual support for one another.
