Outdoor activities groups near Posen, IL

Meet up with other craft beer and music lovers to chat about favorite your pours and to pour over your favorite records! Each month we will meet at a local record store at 6:30pm to check out vinyl and other record store treasures. Then at close (typically 7pm) we will take a leisurely stroll to a nearby brewery to continue on the good vibes. Share your perspectives on drinks and music and hear a unique perspective from others - it's a great way to make friends by doing the things you already love doing. Bring a good sense of humor and an open mind. Oh, and dress for the weather. This is not a fitness walk, it's a social activity and a chance to check out some drinks and music in the company of good people. Well supervised kids and dogs may be welcome - please contact both the brewery and the record store to confirm. We will continue to meet and walk in the winter and the locations will be carefully selected to minimize outdoor time.

•What is this Meetup's purpose?

Can you imagine Chicago with starlight? Are you old enough to remember when Chicago's or neighboring town night skies sparkled with real stars?  Sadly, the National Park Service studies predict that by 2025, 90% of people living in the contiguous U.S. will never see starlight even once in their lifetime because of the exponential encroachment of light pollution. Personally, I think that awareness and activism have the power to restore starlight for future generations. What about you?

• Who should join?

Our ideal members have an appreciation of a starry night sky, and have a willingness to help restore starlight for today's and future generations. Each one of us can help in our own way. This will take creativity, collaboration and support for one other.

•Why should members join?

You can make a real difference.

We could be the last generation in the US to witness a starry night sky.  The National Park Service studies predict by 2025, 90% of people in the contiguous U.S. will never see a starry night sky even once in their lifetime because of the exponential encroachment of light pollution.  The detrimental consequences to the health of humans, ecosystems and environment are well-documented and profoundly sobering.

Brainstorming and working together to spread the word and the solutions can literally result in giving the stars back to all. 

• What can members expect out of the group?

We will meet up at various locations throughout the year to listen to talks, brainstorm, and come up with synergistic plans to help get the word out about light pollution in order to restore starlight for future generations providing a healthier environment for people, ecosystems, and the environment.   Whenever appropriate, we'll tie-in telescope viewing, or other ways to enjoy the starry or meteor-filled sky.  

Then, whoever can, will put those plans into action. Writing a story, doing a radio interview, offering public testimony, offering talks or special events at schools or nature areas, contacting public officials, recruiting more help and mentors. 

• Community: 

The synergy of sharing;  The sharing of synergy is key to our community. Every single one of us has something to offer in our own way.  An idea, a song, an experience, a skill, a hope, a dream, a connection--- Together, the possibilities of synergy are endless and unique. We may even be able to restore hidden wonders-- the stars!  

We'll meet in person and develop ideas and report progress on our Meetup site.  All are welcome.  Diversity is essential.

Our purpose would be to come together, meet and greet, and help motivate each other, push each other, put our minds in one fold to succeed at tackling our goals. open minded people, spiritual, friendly, intelligent, funny ,positive minds,. As far as our events that i will host: Movie night, meet for games/arcade, outdoor activities, concerts,sports, dancing, classes, rafting, kayaking, canoeing, sporting events, hiking, networking, camping, travel, weekend getaways, day trips, fun events with fun people and make friends.

Wikipedia defines Social Clubs as: **Social activities clubs** are a modern combination of several types of clubs and reflect today's more eclectic and varied society. 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. Vision Statement: To make new friends, share old and new interests and live a life full of activities that are diverse, interesting and fulfilling.
