There are many wonderful social meetup groups in the area. Our particular niche is **Local, Budget Friendly, and Smaller Groups.** **The purpose of this group is to build friendships** We mainly do activities of interest to those over 40 but **we are open to all ages.** We are open to all, single, married, divorced, in a relationship etc. *Please note you do not need to be from Kenosha or Racine, that is just where most of our meetups take place.* \*\*Local….\*\***The focus of this group is building friendship through activities,** we mainly do moderately priced activities that are of interest to those 40 plus mainly in the Racine - Kenosha area. We do a variety of activities including but not limited to restaurants, movies, festivals, hiking, bowling, museums, plays, etc. I'm very open to suggestions, so let me know if there is something you'd like to do. I may even ask you to host it :-). **Budget Friendly…** We keep the cost of most meetups to $30 or under. We want to keep the cost down so that you can come back often. The few events that may be above that budget the price will be noted in the description. \*\*Smaller Groups…\*\*Most of our activities range from 4 to 10 people. If you happen to be an introvert like me this is less threatening than a large group. These smaller groups enable great conversations, and new people are easily included. **I often say the best aspect of this group is the people...I am continually amazed at the high quality of people I've been privileged to meet through this group; down to earth, caring, and incredibly fun. Come join us.** **Group's Guidelines:** **Purpose of the Group:** **The purpose of the group is to develop friendships.

Most of our meetups are under $30, the ones that are above that amount will be noted in the description. **RSVP:** Please only RSVP "yes" for an event if you are 80% sure that you will be able to come.

Welcome to the Southeast Wisconsin Photography Group! Years ago when I got back into photography there where numerous groups that were active and had meetups at least once a month. This seems to have gone by the wayside. This group is for anyone interested in photography. The goal is to have at least a monthly themed shoot with themes ranging from a holiday or event in that month to a particular type of fashion or era. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your skills or a seasoned pro looking to connect with other photographers, this is the group for you. Join us for photoshoots, workshops, and networking events where we can learn and grow together. Let's capture beautiful moments and create stunning imagery! I am currently looking for a studio that would be able to accommodate a small group of photographers and models for indoor meetups. If you know of a studio please send me the name. I do have a small home studio that one or two photographers can shoot in. If you need a place to shoot contact me for more information.

Do you love books? Are you a woman who's trying to love books ? Are you a local author who wants to share your book with your community? Look no further! **\*Although "Read Girl, Read!" is physically located in the Southeastern Wisconsin region, anyone who joins the group can participate in online book club events!\*** **Our Mission:** Our imaginations don't have to be a lonely place. This club is about connecting active readers, aspiring readers, and authors through each book's unique story. Through reading, members will be able to connect and interact with people they normally wouldn't. The biggest hope is that reading these books will introduce you to new ideas about the world, and even new revelations about yourself. **This group is for Women with all reading levels:** You don't have to be a hardcore "read 20 books a month' reader to be in this group. Instead of worrying about speed, we will be a space for people from all walks of life and reading levels to explore the world of storytelling. **What we'll be reading:** The old classics, the new stuff, and all in between! Both non-fiction and fiction. From short stories, to sci fi to fantasy to self-help to mysteries! However, since this group is local to the Kenosha/Southeastern Wisconsin area, we'll be reading alot of local artists' work to support their journeys with authorship (and hopefully having them join us to lead in some discussions!). **\*Preferences given to books by black women and other minority communities.** **Events:** Most events will be online (for now). All online club meetings will be free. Although donations are much appreciated! **Connect with Read Girl, Read! on Socials:** Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/125854063941182/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/joycehousepub?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg== **Rules (PLEASE READ):** 1. **No "No-Shows"** \- Please only RSVP to an event if you plan on coming\. Do not RSVP to an event if you are unsure that you'll show up\. More than 4 "No\-show" RSVPS in a month period will result in removal from the group\. 2. **Be Respectful** \- Book discussions will likely include differing viewpoints\. That's perfectly okay and what we want to see\! However\, please keep your tone and arguments constructive\. The goal is not to convert anyone to do anything or to dominate other's perspective\. 3. **Stay on topic** \- Discussions should stay focused on the subject matter\. Though its okay if we veer off to relate the book to our experiences as needed\, it is NEVER permitted to attack speakers or other club members\. If so\, you will be removed from the group permanently\. 4. **Read the book** \- Or atleast\, attempt to so that we can all have a chance to get as many viewoints as possible\. If you didn't read the book all of the way through\, no worries\! We still want to see you :\)

We are a group of women with a common interest in creating a network of formal and informal professionals. Find/register for an upcoming meeting anytime [HERE](https://pwow.org/events/) **In order for our group to stay completely FREE we depend on donations from our members and guests. Every dollar helps!!** **If you'd like to donate please drop it in our donation jar at our events.** We take a little different approach to networking than most groups do. We believe building relationships with each other is much more important than growing an email/contact list and business card collection. We consider this a business AND social networking group. Please take the time to get to know each member/attendee and make an effort to stay after the event to continue to network. Helping you grow your business and connect with the right people are priorities to us. Please bring your business cards, flyers and door prizes. We will have a table set up for displaying these items throughout the event. Most meetings are held at restaurants and we ask each attendee to at least purchase a beverage or meal to help the restaurant for allowing us to meet there. This is a private group. You must be approved for membership. You may not be approved. You may be removed at any time. We will approve you if you are truly interested in joining us for an event. You will be listed as an "Attendee" until you have attended one event and have decided to join as a member by completing a Membership Application. Once your application is complete you will be listed as a "Member". **Member benefits** include but are not limited to: 1\. The opportunity to be a "Featured Member" which includes: Being featured on our Event page and having a 15 minute spotlight intro at the event\. 2\. Access to exclusive offers and discounts given by other PWoW members\. **PLEASE NOTE:** If you don't have time to attend any Events, please don't apply at this time. If you do not attend any events for three months you will be removed. You can rejoin when you have more time. This is to ensure we have active members and those on the pending list can join the group. A networking group is only as strong and effective as the members who show up. If you RSVP Yes for an event and do NOT show up or make any effort to let the Event Organizer or co-organizer know you cannot attend due to a last minute emergency you will be removed from the group. **Please Cancel 24 hours in advance**. You are taking someone else's spot who could have attended, therefore repeat offenders of canceling last minute will be removed from the group. PWoW leaders also reserve the right to remove any member from our group at any time for any reason. **When applying for membership include a visible photo of yourself please!** This allows me and other event organizers to know who to look for at events and allows other members to be able to put a face to a profile. If you don't have a visible picture of yourself, you will not be added to the group.

Let's meet and practice speaking our español. For now we will meet at Colectivo in Bay View but may be subject to change depending on how this evolves and if there's interest to do other fun activities at different places. And of course not a must. Not a class type of setting but will most definitely be beneficial to practice what you know and learn what you don't.  Whether you want to practice because you're headed to a Spanish speaking country or you want to learn work related terminology or maybe you just want to have it as an alternative language, we don't judge. But did you say you speak and write more than what you can talk? That's totally fine too, come listen if you please, maybe you'll teach us some proper grammar and a native Spanish speaker can enlighten us with unique accents and perhaps some slang Spanish. Step it up! Don't lose it, practice it! ¡Hola amigos! Bienvenidos al Grupo de Español Milwaukee — GEM. Reunamonos  y pongamos en práctica nuestro español. Por el momento las reuniones serán en la cafetería Colectivo localizada en Bay View y conforme se desenvuelva el grupo, esta seria sujeto al cambio puesto que se podrían desarrollar otras actividades. Claro, esto también seria si existe interés en ello y no obligatorio. La finalidad del grupo no asemeja una estructura de clase sino un ambiente donde todos convivamos y pongamos en practica lo aprendido, y educarnos en lo desconocido por medio de la simple comunicación.  Ya sea que próximamente estarás visitando un país latinoamericano o posiblemente viajaras a España o ya sea que quieres aprender terminología destacada en tu trabajo o si simplemente quieres dominar mejor tu español, sin prejuicio alguno, aquí te "echamos la mano" to help someone. ¿Lo entiendes y escribes mejor de lo que lo hablas? No te preocupes, ven y escucha si gustas, igual y nos podrías enseñar algo de gramática y algún hispanoparlante quizás nos ilustre con acentos nativos y un español coloquial lleno de modismos. ¡Ponte las pilas! ¡Camarón que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente!

We're here to relax, unwind, meet new friends and have a good time with people our own age. This group is specifically organized for 65+ people and a picture of yourself is required when you join. We're always looking for good suggestions in Southwest Milwaukee and suburbs to have the best "Happy Hour" between 4 & 7 (shorter or longer as you desire). We are always open to suggestions for other activities and want to expand the things we do.

We have started this group to have fun hikes for everyone who loves hiking. We will have hikes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced.

We will put in the description what kind of hike it will be.....advanced, beginner, intermediate. Everyone will feel welcome in this group. We are just here to have a Great time! Some groups have a lot of rules...😆 If you notice we don't have any...😆 If you find someone on an event and start dating....yayyyyyy. congratulations 🎉 hope it works out. If you meet a lot of friends in the group and hike on your own with your new 20 friends or more.....yayyyyyy!!! We are not here to be your boss or tell you what to do. We at Happy Trails just want everyone to do whatever it is that makes them happy in life and wish them all the best and on our hikes. Life can be rough so we just want everyone to have fun and be happy!!! 😊 Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! See you on the trails.....🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ **Suggestions** **What to wear:** whatever you'd like and are comfortable in. **Shoes:** Comfortable ones with good support and insoles. **Summer:** Water and bug spray **Winter:** Layers Over time you will learn different ideas from different hikers and can pick and choose which ones might be right for you. Our hikes can sometimes be more challenging than other hikes you might have been on. We like a little more adventure if we can find it on the trail but we always try to have alternative routes if a member isn't comfortable, and those hikes will be posted as moderate/hard. Because some hikes can be challenging and accidents can happen on any trail or event we have to have a **Release of Liability Waiver.** **WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY:** **IN CONSIDERATION OF**  the risk of injury that exists while participating in hiking and outing events and activities,  my desire to participate in said Activity Release Happy Trails Hiking Group, its Organizers, Co Organizers, Event Organizers, Event Hosts, and all its Affiliates from All and any physical injury or damages I may suffer as a direct result of my participation in the aforementioned Activity including travel before, after, and during the said event and any and all injuries and damages even if caused by negligence of Happy Trails Hiking Group, its agents, organizers and any other leaders in anyway connected to this event.

The Lake County Cannabis Club (L3C) is a discreet group of Recreational Cannabis Enthusiasts, Medical Marijuana Patients, Cannabis-Industry Entrepreneurs, and Community Members interested in celebrating and promoting the many benefits of Cannabis and Hemp products.

We are looking for like-minded people in Lake County to share ideas, fun, and laughs in the New Age of Cannabis and COVID-19. We want to build new friendships while also networking ourselves in-support of our current & future Lake County Cannabis businesses. We also want to give-back to our communities through volunteer work and charitable events.

Let’s get creative! Our gatherings and events must be both legal and safe for our members. Since public consumption of Cannabis is still illegal in Illinois (whether you are indoors or outdoors), we will need to keep that in-mind as we plan events in 2021 and beyond. We will also want to adhere to all CDC recommended restrictions for COVID-19…which won’t be easy.

**If you own a private property in Lake County where our club members can meet discretely, we are always seeking generous Hosts for our events.**
