The Family is a private club in San Francisco, California, formed in 1902 by newspapermen who in protest, left the Bohemian Club due to censorship. It maintains a clubhouse in San Francisco, as well as rural property 35 miles to the south in Woodside. It is an exclusive, invitation-only, all-male club where new members are referred to as "Babies", regular members as "Children" and the club president as the "Father".
