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:
**PLEASE list your first name & the first initial of your last name as we have numerous members with the same first name.
**We need a CURRENT picture of you in your profile, also one that is not of your pet, kids, car, an avatar pix, 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.
**Our group DOES NOT ALLOW any business solicitations or other group event posts on our website.
**Our group IS NOT A POLITICAL group.
EVENT RSVP/WAIT LIST:
**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 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 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 one of the LLL organizers!
**Interested in becoming a host, please contact one of the LLL organizers!

## Details
What better way to enjoy the first official Friday evening of Summer than at this beautiful outdoor venue! Get your tickets and come see if they were truly your "inspiration"!
Playing nightclub gigs around the Midwest in the ‘60s, three college students from DePaul were astounded one night when they and their bandmates listened to a brand new record by The Beatles and they heard a new way to make music. There were countermelodies that wove in and out of the verses. There were brass instruments that stood shoulder to shoulder with the guitars in the choruses. There were instrumental interludes that felt as much a part of the song as the vocals. It was a listening experience that inspired those young Illinois musicians to form a novel group of their own: a rock band that included a horn section. And not just as “extra texture,” those brass instruments would be part of the group’s identity. And so Chicago was born. With their unique instrumentation and their blend of jazz, classical, and R’n’B influences, they became one of the most successful American bands of all time, second only to The Beach Boys. And though the ‘70s are seen as the group’s heyday, Chicago delivered the biggest selling album of their career with their 17th record in 1984.
Great Moments in Vinyl brings you the hits and highlights of Chicago, Friday, June 27th in an outdoor concert on the rooftop of the Joliet Area Historical Museum. Great songs. Great stories. Join Great Moments in Vinyl as they bring to life the music of Chicago. They promise a memorable night of glorious harmonies and passionate performances accompanied by memorable stories about the music and the musicians who created it.
Live music, full beverage bar, snack vendor & more! In case of inclement weather, concert will be moved to indoor Auditorium Theater.
