Hi Friends and Pooches! Welcome to Chicago Red Club where Dog Lovers can get together and have some fun times together with their dogs.   I find that pet lovers shared one common trait, they are disciplined, focused, and kind-hearted individuals. This is exactly what our "pooches" poccess. I formed this group in the hope of meeting other pet lovers who would like to get together at pet-friendly places in the Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, area, possibly everywhere really! The message …

It's hard for people to meet people outside of work. Especially those who do not deal with many people at work. It's also more fun to go out when you know you're likely to actually meet people that have similar interests! So once month, we meet at Fox & Hound Pub & Grille in Schaumburg, near Golf and Roselle Road. Besides that, the assistant organizers create meetups throughout the month. We make road trips, we try out new bars, bowling alleys, restaurants, festivals, etc. There are always tons …

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

"if you haven't done a chapter ride in awhile or are a new member, get out and ride with our group. we have the nicest people in our chapter. i have talked to friends who don't belong to a hog chapter and they say its because the group wasn't friendly or they didn't include everyone. not the Palatine chapter. they are the best!"

If you're more of an introvert, and also identify as LGBT, then maybe this is the group for you. This group has gone through some changes, so you w,ill see "old meetups/former members" still listed from last year when it was a different version. We hope to make this the last and final version of the group! The previous group we tried to create just didn't quite "fit" us, and we realized that we needed to gear this group more towards introverts, but LGBT introverts. Please keep in mind... This is …

I challenged myself to do 12 5ks in 12 months. In the end it was the best challenge I have ever set for myself because it turned out to be an adventure than I had not anticipated on having. Anyways, I wanted to make the expereince more social. I know a lot of people sign up for races because of family or friends, but what happens when that person can't go and you don't have any body to do a particular race with you? I know, most people end up not doing the race in that situation! So, I figured c …
