Meet new friends groups near Elgin, IL

We're a group of technologists from all industries and roles. Software engineers, managers, sales, recruiting... just regular people hanging out with regular people. No agendas, no sponsors, no presentations -- bring your business card, grab a drink from the bar, and come complain about the tech industry with us 🤣 ----- Current plan is to meet monthly(ish), changing locations for scenery and attracting new friends.

Welcome to the Northwest Chicago New Friends Meetup! Are you a young adult between the ages of 20-25 and need a little help finding friends your age? Break the ice with new folks by playing games that will help you connect with others. This group is especially geared toward people who have a hard time with social skills! Join us monthly at the Arlington Heights Public Library.

We are a group of unbelievably fun friends that meet regularly at different places around the burbs. Most of us are in the age range of 50+ but we do have some mature 40-somethings and some very alive 60-somethings. We invite all our friends---SINGLE, WIDOWED, COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS AND EVEN THOSE THAT ARE MARRIED AND WANT A FUN NIGHT OUT- to invite their friends to come and hang out with us and meet our friends and make new friends. It is through friends that almost all our friends have found interesting and fun people to enhance our lives. You will meet really good, fun and happy people at our events. You may meet someone to be friends with, do business with, or make your lifelong friend!  Our married friends have single friends, our single friends have married friends, our widowed friends have married friends, single friend even and widowed friends, our committed couple friends have married and single friends. BOTTOM LINE....FRIENDS ARE FRIENDS! Friends are Friends!!! Do you get it? LOL We love to do different things from themed dance parties, house parties to dinners out, art openings, wine tastings, street festivals and bar hopping. We promote conversation, laughter, interaction and most of all FRIENDSHIPS! Hope to meet you soon at at one of our FUN events!

We are a group of 45 ish and up singles looking to make new friends and build great relationships and memories. Let's meet for dinner, movies, festivals, music, volunteering, road trips, hikes or just hanging out! Most activities will be in the Lake County area and surrounding communities. This is NOT a big party group, "meat market" or place to bring negativity or cause drama.  In fact we like to keep our events limited to a smaller group in order to actually get to know one another and allow our friends to feel comfortable without the worry that they will be "hit on". Please be respectful of others opinions and should you ever find yourself in a "heated" conversation, please just agree to disagree and move on. There are too many controversial topics these days that can lead astray. I am not here to babysit grown adults...I'm sure you understand. If in the event a member cannot abide by these simple "asks" then you will be removed from the group. Also, if you do not agree with a waiting list or the way this group is run, please feel free to remove yourself and start your own group that better meets your expectations. There are plenty of other groups on Meet Up and we are sure you will find one that fits your needs. Have you ever been to a large event and still felt alone, almost lost in the crowd? Feel like you didn't fit into the "clicks" of other large groups? Our group is for the person that wants to get away from the norm of coming home on Friday night watching TV or Social Media. If you decide to join us, please be courteous of the organizers time and efforts. Please don't say you are coming and not show up. You will be removed from the group if you are a "No Show" or "Last Minute Cancellation" 3 times. Also, please be sure to have a clear, recent profile picture of yourself (not your dog or a flower) so we know who to look for at our events. Thank you and we look forward to meeting you soon!

You and your family will be invited to join us for outdoor adventures as we explore special places along the Fox River and throughout its watershed. Learn what a watershed is. See how the Fox River was formed. Visit the special natural areas that make the Fox River Valley an important ecosystem, flyway and fishery. Our outdoor adventure program activities are open to all and FREE!

Are you in your 30s or 40s and in/near the Elgin area? Are you hoping to find some great new friends? You've come to the right place! We are looking to build a vibrant community of people through fun meetups - from dinners to game nights to local events & activities. \*MUST BE IN YOUR 30s OR 40s TO JOIN. Others will be removed.

I started this group in hopes of meeting like-minded people since I know that being single and having nobody to talk to at home can be a lonely experience. There are those who are lucky enough to have a family, others who choose to remain single, and still others who have difficulty finding a family. It's time to find friends with whom you can talk, hang out, travel, explore, experience new things, learn from each other, learn together, try new foods, try new activities, and enjoy your life. If you’re looking to have fun, laugh, and be your awesome authentic self, please join and make it happen. *Note:* * *This Group is not for pick-up or seduction techniques, or wingman tactics.* * *This is not a Dating Group.* * *Please make sure your profile has a photo of yourself.* 📸

Do you like to read and/or socialize with other fun, intelligent, like-minded people? If you are a woman looking to meet new friends in the Northwest suburbs for some fun please join us! You don’t need to be a resident of Algonquin. Most events will be in and around the Algonquin area, however, we will also venture out to surrounding suburbs in the Chicago area. The primary focus of the group will be on a monthly book club, however, we will also meet a few times in between for some quality social, girl time. We will meet for breakfast, lunch, movie matinees, day walks/hikes, day trips, festivals, happy hours, live music and more! Also, I am always open to suggestions for events and/or having you be an event organizer to host your own events should you wish to do so. Please consider doing so and joining us for our next event! Ground Rules: Newbies will be made to feel welcome and included with the group. No cliques are allowed (we aren't in high school anymore) and drama queens are unwelcome! Please be kind and respectful to others in the group and at the places we go to. Should anyone have an issue, please come to me with any concerns. Also, should you decide to join us, moving forward please be considerate of the group’s time and with the establishments we visit, and keep your RSVPs current. It will avoid us having to wait around for you to show before we get started. Also, having an empty seat at the table unnecessarily takes seats away from other patrons at the places we visit. Thank you all in advance for the courtesy! In keeping with this no show policy, there will be accountability: Too many no shows without justification communicated to me will result in being removed. The group appreciates your understanding and cooperation! All that aside, let's have some fun and make some great memories!

**Current Schedule** Check the upcoming meetups for times and locations About us - [http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/](http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/) **Main Description** **First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve**. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15). **More people show up than the number that RSVP!** We usually have at least a game of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.) We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends. **All ages and ability levels are welcome \~ *we really mean this.*** Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest was 73 before he called it quits (he still comes to picnics). We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in! The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners **(And ask questions!)**. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and **have fun.** We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even. At the very least, **please don't wear grey.** It's neither light nor dark and is really good at confusing people in the heat of the game. The games basically run themselves. So when you come, **just jump in.** Everyone is really friendly. We were all new to the group once before.
