Fun Friends Group

McHenry, IL

Fun Friends Group
**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

"Single Friends" of the Northern Suburbs

Fox Lake, IL

"Single Friends" of the Northern Suburbs

Guess what? SINGLE no longer means SOLITARY! Get off your computer and get into Real Life, with single FRIENDS eager to know you. You, as a welcomed and active member of this fun group, will now join activities, make friends, meet up, hang out, pick brains, get hugs, walk dogs, bring pets, enjoy cocktails, chow down, showcase talents, slow dance, accept compliments, pitch tents, suggest adventures, burn calories, share dreams, offer advice, travel everywhere, eat pizza, smile broadly, discuss books, laugh aloud, clean the highway, support our soldiers, hold benefits for pet and homeless shelters, shake hands, create ideas, clean up (OK, we may need your help SOMETIMES here!), and maybe even find love!

You'll also find we LOVE to travel! In groups of all sizes, on separate trips we've visited Puerto Rico, cruised the Caribbean 12 times (another coming every January!), beached it at gorgeous all-inclusive resorts all over Punta Cana and Mexico, and explore new and exciting countries in Europe for 10 nights every September (this year, Budapest, Prague & Krakow)! All our package deals are incredibly affordable, so forget about being an armchair traveler...pack your bag and let's GO!

By the way, our age group is almost entirely people in their 40s and 50s, and the age range we're including will be 38-65 years old. For those who do join, you'll need to have a real first name (no cutesy handles) and a profile here, and we suggest a photo too, as that's the best way to actually make new Single Friends!
