It's hard at times to meet people outside of work. It's also more fun to go to a bar when you know you're likely to actually meet someone that you'd like to get to know and have a real conversation with. So at least once a month we'll meet at a bar. We'll announce the meeting before hand (and warn the bar) so we "Flash" into the place around the same time and hang out. We may have some live band, dancing, and dining events too! Anyhow, if you are newly divorced, grew apart from friends, new in t …

It's hard for people to meet people outside of work. Especially those who do not deal with many people at work. It's also more fun to go out when you know you're likely to actually meet people that have similar interests! So once month, we meet at Fox & Hound Pub & Grille in Schaumburg, near Golf and Roselle Road. Besides that, the assistant organizers create meetups throughout the month. We make road trips, we try out new bars, bowling alleys, restaurants, festivals, etc. There are always tons …

“You are one connection away from being able to change your life.” Think about that. Whatever it is you want in life, someone has or will be able to get for you. Knowledge, power, love, “stuff”… someone has it. You just have to figure out how you can help them get what they want in return for getting what you want. And that's what this Meetup.com group is about - Networking with others and seeing how we can help each other out. Key Concept Networking is simply that... a Business Networking …
Fox Valley Area Networking Events! Always Open Networking - Bring plenty of business cards! It's been said time and time again from business coaches, mentors and highly regarded speakers, that if your business requires customers in order to survive (which includes most, if not every one of us)... then a great way to build a strong referral relationship is to Never Eat Alone. You were going to eat anyway, right? Maybe your lunch buddy made other plans or had to work through lunch. Have no fear …

When you complete your profile to apply to the group, please put some effort into it so that we see how much you care. If you find that the group is closed when you try to apply, che …

This group is for parents who put their kids first, but would also like to keep their sanity. While most "Meetups" in this group will be for kids, there will also be "Meetups" put together themed for the parents. In the latter Meetup, parents are still encouraged to bring their kids so they can play together. For example, we can put together a play date in which there is a poker game for the adults. Please bring your ideas to the table :). Overall the top goal here is to provide fun, exercise an …

I am a mom with a 3.5 year old daughter and a 9 month old. When I moved to Thornwood, I quickly realized that it was hard to meet others in the neighborhood when you have little kids. After running the group for a year, I know I'm not the only one! Members of Thornwood Moms include moms that can actively participate in weekday playdates, neighborhood walks, moms only events and the online message board. Children range from newborns to roughly 3-4 years old (born in 2009 or beyond). With a lim …
I recently relocated to Illinois from San Antonio, Tx, home of the largest dog walking meet up group in the USA. I was very disappointed when I was unable to find an active dog walking group in this area and decided to start one. Anyone who loves to hike and loves their dog will enjoy this group. The plan is to explore the area's state parks with our 4 legged friends!

The first rule of Fat Club is you don't talk about Fat Club... The reason this group exists is because we, like many people, have struggled with our weight all our lives. We don't need fad diets, we don't need to throw money away at the gym, or pay for exercise classes that we hate going to. We need friends who support us and kick us in the rear end when we need it. Any exercise will do, walking, running, lifting weights, yoga, rhythmic gymnastics, or break dancing... if you are moving and havin …
