Tiny Tots & Treats: Small Dog Meetup at Off-Leash Hotel

New Lenox, IL

Event: Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate Calling all small dog owners! Join us for a tail-wagging good time at the Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate. We’re inviting our community of dog lovers to bring their tiny furry friends to the back of our facility for a fun-filled morning of play, music, and delicious breakfast treats! Event Details: • Date: [November 9, 2024] • Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM • Location: Off-Leash Hotel (Back of the Facility) • Who’s Invited: Small dogs and their owners • Admission: Free to all Off-Leash Hotel customers What to Expect: This is the perfect event to let your small dog stretch their legs, make new friends, and burn off some energy in a safe, supervised environment. We’ve got a great lineup of activities and amenities planned to ensure a fun experience for both you and your pup: • Supervised Play Area: Our experienced Off-Leash Hotel team will be on hand to keep an eye on the dogs and facilitate a safe and positive environment. Your dog can run, jump, and play with other small dogs while you relax and enjoy the morning. • Pool Time Fun: For those water-loving pups, our dog-friendly pool will be open and ready for splash time! Let your dog dive in, paddle around, or just cool off from the morning sun. Don’t forget to bring a towel if your dog is ready to make a splash! • Music & Vibes: We’ll have lively music playing to set the mood, keeping the energy upbeat and the tails wagging. It’s all about having a joyful and fun atmosphere, making sure everyone—both two-legged and four-legged—has a great time. • Breakfast Treats: What’s a morning meetup without some delicious breakfast? We’ll have a spread of treats for the humans, including coffee, pastries, and fruit to kickstart your day. Plus, we’ll have dog-friendly snacks available, so your tiny tots won’t feel left out! • Compatibility Evaluation: During the event, our team will observe how well your dog plays and socializes with the other pups. Dogs that show positive interaction and friendly behavior will be eligible to join our regular playgroups, and the best part is, this evaluation—normally a $40 service—is completely free for attendees of this event! Why Attend? This event is a wonderful opportunity to socialize your small dog in a fun and controlled setting. It’s a great way to meet other dog owners in the community, share stories, tips, and connect over a shared love for our furry companions. Whether your pup loves to play chase, take a dip in the pool, or just sniff around, there’s something for everyone at the Off-Leash Hotel Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate! Who Should Join? This meetup is ideal for small dogs who enjoy socializing and playing with dogs their own size. Whether your pup is a seasoned playtime pro or a bit shy and needs some encouragement, our staff will be there to help facilitate positive interactions. If you’re looking to give your little dog a great time, this event is made just for you! Important Notes: • Please ensure your dog is up-to-date on all mandatory vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). • All dogs must remain on a leash when entering and exiting the facility. • Pool time is optional, so if your dog isn’t a fan of water, there’s plenty of space to play on dry land! Mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this fun and engaging event for you and your small dog. Let’s create some paw-sitive memories together at Off-Leash Hotel’s Tiny Tots Breakfast & Playdate! We look forward to seeing you there! For more details or to RSVP, please contact us at hello@offleashhotel.com or 815.322.1485

Plainfield Walk and Hike

Plainfield, IL

Plainfield Walk and Hike
“Not all girls are made of sugar and spice, and everything nice. Some girls are made of adventure, fine beer, brains and no fear.“ --Or maybe somewhere in between!  This group is for **men** and **women** who enjoy having others to join them for **outdoor activities**. We are looking for like-minded individuals to come together for hikes and other outdoor activities to promote fitness and well-being. We walk at a very brisk pace. If that is not your current pace, feel free to come out to weeknight hikes (weekends are too rigorous for the novice hikers), but please realize that people will probably walk faster than you at the beginning and you can eventually adapt to meet the pace of the group.  Please note that you are ultimately responsible for yourself, your safety and your ability to complete a hike or event. If you begin the activity, you must be able to complete it or successfully see yourself back to your vehicle.  The organizer and other members cannot take responsibility for you.  We believe in encouraging others to reach new potential and health benefits, but to also be mindful of their own abilities and to be patient to slowly adapt their abilities.  While I would like to hike locally, often, I am hoping to keep it interesting and to add other locations...like Starved Rock, Matthiessen State Park, etc. It is **MANDATORY** to post a picture of yourself, simply for the purpose of members being able to recognize you when you are joining us on events. It is a courtesy so that we all feel safe and welcomed! I hope you enjoy your time with us!

Motivated, hiking, road trip women!

Plainfield, IL

Motivated, hiking, road trip women!
We walk!!! This group is for **active** women over 40 who want to meet and have fun! We have some great, **fast-paced** day trips and weekend trips doing a wide variety of things. The **hiking** will be mixed, some short, some long. Maybe my communication has been poor, but if you do not want to walk in nature, please remove yourself from the group. There may be sub-groups who walk faster and some who walk slower. I get in 1**4000 steps a day and that is 7 miles**. On the trips, I'd like to get at least that amount in each day. Are you looking to get in some exercise? Join us. One more thing about communication, if you are on my trip and have a reason for not attending a dinner or one of the events, please discuss it directly with me. These vendors need full communication if we are not going to be the size of group that I had committed with them. Please do not call the restaurant or venue directly. Go through me. If you do not like one restaurant on the trip, that is fine, just as long as you tell me directly, so I know what to expect and can change the size of the reservation. We go to dinners at unique restaurants, wineries, or anything in order to meet and discuss trips. It is important to meet before going on day or weekend trips! There are 3 organizers who create unique outings. If you want to be an organizer too, there are openings! I am looking for women who want to participate in outings, the entire outing. If you do not visit this group on a regular basis (once in 3 months) or do not take part in any outings I will remove you to make room for other women who want to join. (You can always rejoin later if you don't have time now.) If you want to go on Road Trips, you must meet for 3 local or day trips events. I am not a Travel Company and do not collect money for my own activities, this is strictly a fun thing for me. I want friends who get along to travel together for Road Trips. In order to go, you need to meet me in advance. We can take a walk and talk. I need to make sure you understand the trips include walking. It is best to sign up for events when you are sure you are going. These events are for small groups. When you sign up for an event that allows 8 people, you are taking a spot, filling a reservation, agreeing to be there. I am depending on your commitment. The restaurant or venue is depending on you. Businesses need our help after Covid, if you are not going to show up, the businesses have an opening that could have been filled by another. Please be mindful and don't be late either! All trips out of town are done with carpooling. I encourage everyone to fit into a small number of cars which promotes teambuilding! We always need volunteers to drive too!

Plainfield Board Games Meetup Group

Plainfield, IL

Plainfield Board Games Meetup Group
Hello, I am looking to expand my board games group in Plainfield. I had 50 players group in CA, we used to play every weekend. I have a decent collection ( over 200) of board games. You can bring a friend if you want to , just add them as " + 1 quest " please. I suppose some people might be hesitant meeting strangers if it’s not at some public place, but i can assure you, my wife and I are completely normal, friendly and very social people and we have no doubt that you will have a great time here. You can check my address on the map, we live in the middle of Plainfield, surrounded by upper middle class big houses, it's a nice area. I can offer big table, comfortable chairs and relaxing, friendly environment. Please feel free to ask any questions. You can see my collection on this boardgamegeek.com link[https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Saifur](https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Saifur)Clicking on " large gallery mode " (top left corner) will give you better view of the games. There are a few pages with games. Please keep in mind that playing any of the games in my collection takes from 2 to 3 hours (sometimes even longer). In any case you have to be sure that you are free for at least 3 to 4 hours. === \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-We play different games every time\. I rotate them constantly\, so if someone doesn't like the game we played\, they will know something else will be played next time\. I often post few options and players vote what they want to play\. Please check the comments section under each event \! === \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-I want to emphasize that we do not play very light type of games \( Catan\, Ticket to ride \, etc \)\, but i have plenty of more casual and medium weight games\. All games in my collection are top rated on boardgamegeek\.com\, with great positive reviews and really enjoyable to play\. You are not expected to know the rules of the game we will be playing\. I have been playing board games for many years and i am used to explaining the rules every time before we start playing\, so don't worry about that\. During the game i will always help you to figure out how everything works\, will give you advice\, and it doesn't matter that you are my opponent in the game\. For me its more important people to enjoy the games and their time here\, and considering the overall feedback\, I think I manage to achieve that for most players\. As a hobby\, I also paint miniatures\, so you will also have the chance to play some games with uniquely painted figures\.Some of the games i have painted are "Blood Rage"\,"Rising sun"\," The Godfather"\," Scythe"\,"Western legends"\," The Walking dead\- here's Negan"\," Narcos " \,"Cthulhu Wars"\, "Vengeance"\, "Hannibal&Hamilcar "\, "Imperial Assault" \, " Mythic Battles" and others\. I have probably close to 1 000 if not more painted figures from the miniatures game " A song of ice and fire" \( Game of Thrones \)\. Feel free to bring whatever snacks or drinks you want\, although I always have something to offer here \(snacks\, soda\, beer\, etc \) I am only asking you not to bring stuff that is greasy\, just use common sense\, no one likes sticky fingerprints on their board game components\. === \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- The address is 25719 Pastoral dr\. Plainfield\, 60585\. You can park in the driveway\, that is fine My phone number is 747 888 7740\. Please\, always check your personal messages on meetup before the actual gaming session\. If I have to cancel the meeting\, I will send message to everybody who signed up\. The reason for canceling could be because not enough people signed up or if too many people canceled which again leaves us with not enough players\. === \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-I can't overstate how important this is \- please BE here ON TIME\! If you are the only person \( or group of people coming together \) it is OK to be a little late\, but that's rarely the case\, and if you are late\, that means there are 3 \, 4 or 5 people just sitting here\, doing nothing and waiting for you\. Not only you would be wasting other people time \( and some of them probably have limited time \)\, but you might discourage new players from coming back again\, if they are left with the impression that our events are poorly organized\. Please consider other people time and be punctual\. === \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- I want to thank in advance to everyone who donates any amount to support the group\. It is much appreciated\. All donations will go towards snacks\, beer\, meetup monthly fees\. Please do not feel obliged to donate\, its entirely optional and up to you\. === ============================================================================ Finally, i know this was a big wall of text, and i want to thank you for having the patience to read it. I think it was necessary to help everyone to better understand and enjoy our board game meetings. I also apologize for any possible punctiation or grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.
