MISSION: This group is for foodies interested in exploring a variety of foods, and possibly sharing a good bottle of wine.  Don't let the name fool you, however - this is more about the dining than the wining. We'll go anywhere members would like to go, which could be very high brow but could just as likely be very low key (but please...no chain restaurants).  Socializing is of course, the second facet of the mission, and we think we have one of the best groups for it!! Our focus is on exploring …

I Like Red (and white) Wine is a group for GAY wine and food lovers. The idea is to provide an alternative outlet for GAY MEN to meet to pursue this interest and to also provide other social opportunities. Learning about legs and noses is great but getting together because you simply enjoy wine/food and to meet people is better. This isn't so much about learning but getting together because of a common theme. The idea is to create a community with a real life outlet. Hopefully, we will be able t …

This group is for women from 21-30 who love to read (especially love stories) .After graduating college and entering the real world it can be hard to find where you fit in.

We will meet every month to every 2 weeks over a glass of wine to discuss the novel and just do some "girl talk".

Calling all women of Northbrook (& nearby)! I'm hoping this group helps to create a strong, close-knit community of women in the Northbrook area.

To cover the spectrum: From light-hearted, fun social gatherings (game nights, movie nights, wining, dining, comedy shows, musicals, etc.), to more adventurous activities that we've a …

I started this group after meeting several people like myself who absolutely love Door County, Wisconsin. As anybody who has been there will tell you, Door County has an intangible jè ne çe pas, an aura of healthiness and happiness that just cannot be explained. As you drive up the peninsula, crossing Sturgeon Bay, you start feeling healthy and robust, as if all of your troubles have been left behind. Door County is a place like no other. It is a land of gorgeous cliffs, bluffs and rock outcrop …

We decided to modify the group slightly and gather with people who like to cook and play musical instruments. Almost everyone likes live music and wants to learn to play instruments such as guitar, piano, or drums. Taking classes is a commitment not all of us can take on, but meeting with a group of friendly people for good food and music might be fun. If you would like to practice the instrument you are playing than this is a place for you. We are interested in: blues flamenco folk and popular …

My friends and I decided to start a new group to find other happily married couples with kids to hang out with. We enjoy spending time with our significant others and are looking for other couples with similar interests. We will be planning some events to include kids and some without our kids. Events may include potluck dinners, after work get-togethers for drinks, game nights, wii sports tournaments, wine tastings, bowling, etc. We will organize and host many events but also encourage all memb …

There are a few other book clubs out there, but not many in the NW corner of the city.  I struggled to find one that was just for women and had spots available at their upcoming events.  So, I started my own group. I'm also hoping to expand beyond the monthly book discussions.  It would be great to meet other women that are interested in dinners, wine tasting, etc. Please note: This group has $4 dues for each 6-month period.  The current period is May 2013 to October 2013.  You can either pay at …

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …
