Welcome to "Southern Wisconsin Social Club!", aka SWSC!

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

If you are a gay male 21 and older and live in Northen Cook, Lake or McHenry counties in Illinois or southern Kenosha county in Wisconsin, you may feel isolated from other gay men who live nearby, because you do not know how to get in touch with them. If you are tired of driving 50 miles south to Chicago or almost as far north to Milwaukee just to be around other gay people, then this is the local group for you. This is primarily a gay male social group, but we are open to all positive attitude …

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 …

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 will 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 …

This is a group for people who like to play party games that promote fun, socializing, and laughing. Some examples would be Pictionary, Taboo, Outburst, Guesstures, Apples to Apples, etc. This really isn't a group for the serious, complex, strategic type games. There are a ton of fun games out there and I would love to learn new ones. Everyone is welcome to bring their own games. If you love playing games and laughing and meeting new people this is the group for you.

We like to play chess in a casual and friendly environment. We'll be meeting weekly on Tuesday nights 7 - 9pm in the Gurnee Mills area. All levels of play are welcome and encouraged.

This is a group to bring together local young adults with Asperger’s as well as the people in their lives that wish to offer support. Our community offers many great outlets and resources for adults with disabilities, but unfortunately there are not many local social groups that cater to young adults with Asperger’s. I hope to create an opportunity where our loved ones can interact with each other, make new friends, and feel comfortable in the company of others with similar challenges. Most impo …

I'm starting this group because I live in Barrington and I'm looking for healthy, interesting people who want to get together and explore outdoor and cultural events and not always want to drive to Chicago to do so.

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …
