What we’re about
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better… Ralph Waldo Emerson
True York Club is an informal community association of York where we freely pursue our interests together! ☺️
Our foundational 100% free-for-all “ludicrously simple” events:
☻ True York – open city sharing & discovery
☻ Tag™ – properly social media creation
☻ R.O.M.P. – live performance & entertainment
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done—then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago… Frances Hodgson Burnett
