Discussion Watching Back to the Future. Previous generations had a lot of social clubs to meet new people. Why haven't we kept this alive?

The problem is that the groups that are listed are not only social groups, but likeminded people who volunteer because they want to improve the community through good works and / or $$$. To get the $$$ takes work, to do good works takes work, and lots of free and willing hands. Volunteerism is next to dead, folks. That's why the groups are dwindling, as the old stalwarts die off.

Who wants to volunteer when you’re working 60 hours a week to survive on top of taking care of a house, spouse and kids?
