NW Suburban Fun Club for Singles over 50

Come on out, enjoy a nice dinner, and support a good cause! Arrive anytime between 6pm and 8pm.

I volunteer for Fat Cat Rescue (https://www.fatcatrescueinc.org/), a cat shelter in Wadsworth that cares for a large population of cats. In addition to feeding and housing the cats, they provide medical care and foster homes, and find forever homes for adoptable cats. It is quite a large operation which relies on volunteer work and donations to survive. On this night, they have partnered with Portillo's to do a little fundraising. Portillo's will donate 20% of all food purchases to Fat Cat Rescue!

For the event, food purchases must be made between the hours of 5pm and 8pm, and it is only applicable at the Gurnee location. When ordering, use coupon code PORTILLOS41 before checkout.

Portillo's does not allow reservations. I will arrive a little bit early and stake a claim in their separate room. We can just push tables together as people arrive. I'll be easy to spot in my sweatshirt that has a giant paw print on it.

For those unfamiliar with the Portillo's Gurnee location, they are located on the Gurnee Mills campus. There is plenty of parking.

PLEASE SEE POLICY REGARDING NO-SHOWS AND LATE CANCELLATIONS AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION.

GUESTS: If you want to bring a guest, please send me a message and tell me the first name of your guest. I will update your RSVP if space is available. First names are needed since I will be pre-printing name tags.

WAITING LISTS: Please do not put your name on a waiting list if you are not planning on attending. Sometimes there are late cancellations. I understand that at some point you may want to make alternate plans. If so, please change your RSVP to "Not Going". This allows others behind you on the list to be cleared. If anyone on the waiting list is cleared and does not attend, that person will be marked as a no-show.

NO-SHOWS AND LATE CANCELLATIONS: I apologize to all the courteous and responsible people for posting this. Unfortunately this is necessary due to the exceptions.

No-shows may be removed from this group. Cancellations within 48 hours of the event may be considered as no-shows.

Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for late cancellations. This could include illness, family emergencies, unexpected work requirements, car problems, etc. If you have a good reason for cancelling late, please send me a private message explaining the reason and I may excuse you. DO NOT POST YOUR REASON ON A COMMENT. Your message should clearly indicate why you couldn't cancel before the deadline. Messages or comments merely stating something like "Sorry, Something came up." or "Can't make it. Sorry." are not sufficient. Excuses will be examined on a case by case basis. If you have a history of no-shows or late cancellations, this will be taken into consideration.
