Our group meets a couple times a month to fish and share what we caught, how we fished.

We fish closer to home in Chicago's near West suburbs so we save big $$ on gas, travel and lodging. Annual membership dues are very low c …

Hi Everyone! Welcome to our group. After attending several events and meeting some wonderful people thru meetup Liz, Sheila and I formed this group in March of 2008. Little did we know that this group would turn out to be the most popular in the western suburbs and with that form many new friendships along the way. Without the initial help & suggestions and input of the original members this group would not be what it is today. Many thanks should go to them and to Liz & Sheila who stayed focus o …

Don't want to ALWAYS head downtown for social and networking activities? Why not stay local and join us for dinner and drinks in Oak Park, Forest Park, La Grange or any of our other great suburbs?

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 …

… We will be planning trips to Wisconsin, Indiana, Southern Illinois, and will top it off with a end-of-season blow out at Labor Day. This is a great chance to meet others who share your love and passion for the outdoors, and all are welcome. Please be respectful of other members and able to attend planning sessions and at least one excursion.

Are you an avid reader who'd like to get together with other women regularly to discuss books over some fine wine? 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 …
