NW Suburban Kool Kidz is a group of singles and friends in their 20s, 30s and 40s, living in the NW suburbs. We host a variety of fun events, including dinners, movie nights, bowling, hikes, outings to sporting events and other social events. Most of our events are held in the N and NW suburbs, but occasionally we venture to Chicago or The Land of Cheese.

Have a FAVORITE area bistro? Know a place where you can get unique, tasty food? Want to host a home party/wine tasting event? What about a music venue featuring an amazing band that you know everyone will love? Though we are based in Lake County, IL, we will network while visiting establishments in LAKE, COOK and MCHENRY COUNTIES (and also Wisconsin) that provide good times and lasting memories. LOCALLY and REGIONALLY-OWNED BUSINESSES are the FOCUS OF THIS MEETUP. Whether an area gallery, winem …

This is a group for single parents and their children, preferably in grades 4-8, who like to play party games (ex: Telestrations, Apples to Apples, Taboo, Guesstures, etc.). We will meet in different places, in the evening or during the day, depending on convenience and members' preferences. I think this will be a good group for single parents who want to do something fun with their kids, meet people in similar circumstances, and make new friends.

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

Best Friends Pet Care has started this group to give our camp parents and their furry kids a safe environment to play and make new friends. We offer dog camp during the week and on Saturdays for the dogs to play without their parents! Our goal with this meetup is to give more dog parents a fun and safe place to meet other social dogs and their families in the area. You do not need to be a member of our camp program to join the meetup.

If you're more of an introvert, and also identify as LGBT, then maybe this is the group for you. This group has gone through some changes, so you will see "old meetups/former members" still listed from last year when it was a different version. We hope to make this the last and final version of the group! The previous group we tried to create just didn't quite "fit" us, and we realized that we needed to gear this group more towards introverts, but LGBT introverts. Please keep in mind... This is …

Are you tired of spending way too much of your free time in front of the TV or computer? Does your dog or cat have more of a social life than you? Well, if you're feeling like we are, let's try and remedy this. We're looking for women who want to develop some good, and hopefully long lasting friendships...women who enjoy dining out, seeing a movie, playing cards, traveling, or just sitting around with a pot of coffee and sharing themselves with each other. Men are great, and we love 'em, but not …

Hi guys. This is a (newer) group which is meant to be a meeting group for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and comicbook fans, (of movies, books, artwork, etc) and creators in Lake County/McHenry Counties (for example, writers, artists, movie makers, etc, are welcome too!) since the only groups I've been able to find like that, all seem to be in Chicago. This group is going to work best for those with a more flexible weekend schedule since I plan on scheduling a meetup for this group on at least one Sat …

The Urantia Book claims to be a new revelation of Truth to this world, and most persons who have sincerely read and studied The Urantia Book believe this claim to be true. No other writing on this earth has so intelligently and extensively reconciled science, philosophy, and religion. Open minded truth seekers find the text to be a clarifying expansion of the highest truths and ideals found in their own beliefs and current religious affiliations, while at the same time its contents embrace conce …

Being a single parent isn't easy...having a group of friends in a similar situation can be a godsend, especially for those who do not know many others in the area. This is not a dating group, but instead a group who understands the special challenges (and joys!) that come with being a solo parent ... and who support one another and share our experiences. By "single" parent it doesn't mean you cannot be dating someone lol ... it does mean that you may be divorced, separated or otherwise caring fo …

Looking for others who share the passion of riding...and enjoy making new friends along the way!
