Meet new friends groups near Fox River Grove, 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.

A group for individuals of Slavic heritage to meet others, make new friends, have fun, and learn about each other’s backgrounds, cultures, languages, and cuisines. Let's celebrate what we have in common and appreciate our differences! We'll have periodic events either in person or online to connect and meet.

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.

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.

**Welcome to** **"FUN FRIENDS GROUP!",** **aka FFG!** *"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways with a thoroughly worn out body, grinning from ear to ear, screaming...* *"WHOO-HOOO, what a ride!"* **The name says it all! If we are going to be "FUN FRIENDS GROUP" we need to stay busy enjoying all that life has to offer. No need to sit and let life pass you by when there are so many great activities, and amazing people in this world. This group has a wide variety of members between the age of 30 to 65. This group offers a variety of social activities.** And when you do join, you will receive a big ***"YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE!"*** greeting from yours truly. **Singles group?** You may be wondering if this is just a singles group... the answer is no. Although 90+% of the members are single, that is not the focus of the group. FFG is about making friendships with other 30-65 age range people! Dating may evolve from that, but we've found that everyone is much more comfortable to walk into an event alone when it's just about "going to meet some friends". **$$$:** Some people are paying hundreds of $$ to belong to groups that organize social events; Meetup offers us the same luxury of networking, meeting others, and group activities for much less! Starting this January 2011, with the exception of \*Special Events\* like house parties, dances, putting trips together, combined meetup group events, or something really spectacular there will always be a special meetup fee. The meetup fee for a regular event is generally "NADA" unless it stated "Special Event". It takes $ and time to keep this fabulous group going, so please know that your contribution is welcomed! (You can make a contribution by seeing yours truly at one of the meetup event). Sincerely, Brian

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!

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.* 📸

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.

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!
