Singles Over 50 SW Suburbs Looking for new friends No Dating

Mokena, IL

This groups is for single people looking to make new friends. THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE. It's a virtual place to meet new people who want to socialize. Since my divorce, I have determined the only thing worse than being single is dating, but when you get divorced and all your previous friends were 'couple friends' you discover you need some new ones. You can meet them here. Let's survive the pandemic virtually, at first then move to in-person Meet-Ups when feasible.

LADIES LOVING LIFE (LLL) BASIC POLICIES & PROCEDURES (we don’t have many rules but we do need some to keep the group running smoothly & to be considerate of our fellow members & event venues) BASICS: \*\*LLL needs a picture of you in your profile, not your pet, kids, car, etc. Everyone wants to be able to identify/meet you at events. \*\*Make sure your phone/computer settings are set up to receive postings of new events & messages from organizers/members. Check the group’s website regularly. EVENT RSVP/WAIT LIST: \*\*PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you read the ENTIRE description of an event, this includes RSVP deadline dates & payment dates. Want to attend? Just hit ATTEND to respond yes. \*\*Our events are always open to LLL members first. If an event allows guests, you will be able to add a +1 to your RSVP. If the event is not open to guests, you will not be able to add a +1. If your guest wishes to join you at the event, your guest will need to join the LLL group. If your guest does not wish to join the LLL group, & you both still wish to attend the event, we are sorry but you, & your guest, will not be counted in the LLL table reservation seating. Reservation seatings are always open to LLL members first. \*\*If you RSVP yes & the event is full, you will be placed on a “wait list”. It is your responsibility to check the event to see if you have been moved up to the RSVP. list from the wait list (members cancel for a variety of reasons, so your chances are good). \*\*If you still have a question on an event, please contact the host(s) through their Meetup profile. Just click on their picture & you will be able to send them a private email. \*\*Out of courtesy & respect to our host(s) & our event venues, please do not RSVP to an event unless you are committed, please do not RSVP with the thought of “I’ll sign up & plan on going until something better comes along”. You can always check back later if your schedule permits & RSVP yes to an event. \*\*PLEASE check in with your event host, we want to enjoy this event with you, have you meet & mingle with other members, & make sure that you arrived safely. \*\*If you have RSVP'd yes to an event & change your mind, it is your responsibility to remove yourself from the RSVP list, not the host(s). \*\**Cancellation of your RSVP for restaurant events is 72 hours (3 days), 48 hours (2 days) for all other venues, unless noted in the specific event posting.* If you cancel after that time, you will be marked as a no-show. You are responsible for removing yourself from the RSVP no matter when you cancel your RSVP, not an organizer or the event organizer. LLL needs to be considerate of restaurants & venues & their staffing needs. \*\*LLL has the “3 strikes & you’re out rule”. If you RSVP to an event & do not show up, are past the deadline for removing yourself from the RSVP list, or change your mind at the last minute on attending, we mark you as a “no-show”. Three “no-shows” & we sadly remove you as a member for 3 months. MEMBER REMOVAL FROM GROUP: \*\*Three "no-shows" & you will be removed from the group for three months. \*\*All of us at LLL want to build friendships/community, so if you have not attended an event within 3 months, visited the LLL website within 3 months, exhibited inappropriate behavior (see below), or are continually RSVPing to events & cancelling, you will, sadly, be removed as a member for three months. \*\*Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated at any LLL event. This includes, but is not limited to: habitual lateness, rudeness, bullying, harassment of any kind, discrimination, being disrespectful, interfering with a group event in any way, etc. Said member will be immediately removed from the group. LAST BUT NOT LEAST & THE MOST IMPORTANT: *HAVE FUN, MEET NEW PEOPLE, TRY NEW THINGS!* *\*\*If you ever have any ideas for a fun event, please contact LLL's organizers!*

Medical Billing Support

Homer Glen, IL

This group is for anyone looking to meet other people with a role in the medical field. Although it is focused on improving collections and internal processes by sharing knowledge and experience, all are welcome to join. Whether you are a seasoned biller, have a different position linked to billing or interested in learning about the industry, together we can create a group that can offer support and have fun meeting new people with shared interests. I work from home and I'm sure many others do too. This group can serve as an outlet for socialization and getting out of the house. While I'm in the Homer Glen area, the group isn't limited to the SW Suburbs. All are welcome to send me ideas for meetups in the Chicagoland area.

These clubs are centered around the activities available to the club members in the city or area in which the club is located. Some have a traditional clubhouse, bar, or restaurant where members gather; others do not. Events can include a broad range of activities from sporting events and social parties to [ballet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet), arts or [book clubs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_discussion_club). Unlike traditional clubs they are not limited to one kind of event or special interest but include a broad range of events in their monthly calendars. The members choose the events in which the club is going to take part, based upon the changing interests of the members. The members themselves determine the events they will attend of those offered. And so it is.....We are a Social Activities Club......In the truest sense and form. With being a Social Activities Club comes Rules. Mission Statement: To continue to be as engaged and relevant in this stage of our lives as we were leading up to it. By doing so we can continue to learn, to grow, to embrace life in ways that enrich our own and all of those we meet along the way.
