About MAX

Since 1988, MAX has provided gay men and their friends in the San Francisco Bay Area
a warm and welcoming place where we come together to build real friendships
with real people. Today, MAX members work together as a community to offer
dozens of social events each year, ranging from our famous First Friday TGIF to
many social, educational and travel opportunities.
