On August 27, 1998, nine people sat at two small back tables in a local eatery intent on spending a few hours meeting, talking, laughing, and enjoying a meal with folks who shared a common interest in BDSM . This was the beginning of The Group In Fresno (TGIF).

Now an average of 55 people meet on a monthly basis in a private meeting room to talk,  laugh, enjoy a meal and find out about upcoming events.   At these munches, our members love to meet other  people who share a common interest in the scene.  All this is done in a discreet, non-threatening environment. 

The Group In Fresno has grown into a committee-led organization of over 200 members.   

Mission Statement

The purpose of TGIF is to promote & facilitate safe, sane & consensual BDSM for adults with those interests, by providing a discreet, safe, supportive atmosphere through education, discussion, resources and group events.
