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 …

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 …

The target audience is 20's and 30's, and I'm afraid we need to be strict about that.  No one is going to card you, but the demographic we're looking for is active, young people.  Please don't join if you have adult children :) Our goal is to develop activities of every type, and foster an inclusive environm …

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.

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …
