What is JoinUp! South Bend?

We want to help people join more clubs.

Why? Clubs matter. They provide more than just connection or entertainment. They make our entire community a better place. 

JoinUp! South Bend, combines... 

...to help more people join more clubs in the greater South Bend community.

Film: Join or Die

Sunday, October 13, 1:30 p.m.  |  Leighton Auditorium

Across the country, people are asking: what's happening to America? Is our civic fabric unraveling?

One person has dedicated his life to solving this mystery. What did he find? 

We stopped joining. 

Join or Die is a documentary about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. 

2023. NR. 93 min. Discussion [tentative] and club fair to follow.
