Freemasons or American Legion? Nowadays, with work and the household duties and all these other daily obligations, it's a miracle if one finds any free time for themselves!

How did people of previous generations find the time or the willingness to attend organizations with members of a community?

I'm 22 and most of my peers (including myself) don't bother with attending organizations (such as religions) that aren't employment-related. The sentiment is, if it doesn't relate to my needs, then it's a waste of time.
