Friendship Exchange has been providing an alternative
social outlet for single professionals since 1991. We
are dedicated to entertaining single professionals from
various backgrounds (art, architecture, finance, law,
music...) and age (late twenties to late fifties).
Our crowd is fun, sophisticated and open-minded; are you?
Our themed & interactive events are unique and creative
to help you mingle. We strongly believe that when people
share a common experience, it's easier for them to meet
each other... And it's even better when they share similar
lifestyles and interests. We offer various events each
week and we work hard to be creative and offer everyone
a really great time - each and every time!
Founder/Owner
In June 1991, Jill Ellington founded Friendship Exchange,
an Introduction service and social club for singles. After
becoming single herself, Ellington realized that finding
high quality, relationship-minded men was a challenge.
She recognized the need for a service that would help
others like herself connect in a more effective, safe,
and dignified way.
Thousands of clients and more than 500+ marriages later
including her own, Jill Ellington has been featured in
the Kansas City Star Magazine, College Boulevard News,
Explore Kansas City, Evolving Woman, the Topeka Capital
Journal, on several Kansas City and Topeka T.V. stations,
and nationally on the Jenny Jones show.
Jill Ellington has a rich background in the human relations
field and working with singles. Armed with studies in
psychology and mental health, Jill worked at the Kansas
Neurological Institute before becoming the founder of
Friendship Exchange.
Eventually, Jill Ellington started another business called
The Relationship Headhunters an introduction and personal
search service, and Friendship Exchange became solely
a dining and social club for singles. Friendship Exchange
has expanded into one of the largest social clubs in the
Midwest with a variety of ways for singles to meet from
progressive dinners, dinners for six, mini-dates, to several
special events throughout the year.
