Hi!   We're not 100% sure if there are other established 20-somethings in the Glen Ellyn/Wheaton area so this may be an exercise in futility.  :)  Only one way to find out!   We're hoping there are some nice, normal 20-something/early-30something couples out there who'd love to get together and hang out without having to negotiate traffic & a train into Chicago. :)   We love to cook dinner, drink wine, drink wine while cooking dinner, do dog play-dates (we have a Shih Tzu!) play board games, see …

These are the voyages of the Western Suburban Science-Fiction Book Club... Our continuing mission: to seek out the most compelling, discussion-provoking science-fiction (and occasionally, fantasy) and gather together to chat about them over dinner. It's a pretty good mission. Reading sci-fi suggests certain nerdish... leanings, but don't be afraid: our group is all-inclusive. Yes, I'm sure a few of us qualify as geeks, but we're all socially well-adjusted and reasonably freshly showered too. Our …

The aim of this group is to expand our thoughts and perceptions through great discussions about books. We all bring our own experiences, culture, and filters into the perception and understanding of literature, and hopefully these discussions will all enrich us. We'll choose serious fictional and non-fictional books that are fairly recent releases (within the last 20 years for the m …

We are a group of attorneys, who are (mostly) moms & solo practitioners who want to do pro bono work in a way that does not interfere with our family/work life.  We now have men, retirees, and 1/3 of our participants are solo practitioners. Our projects are:  finite and won't hang over your head;  have backup by working in teams so if there's an important client call or (gulp) sick kid, NO worries;  geographically sensitive by having trainings in Oak Park; and  are never outside of school hours …
