This group was established not just to have a good time "meeting up" but it was put in place to enjoy d …

Even in 1,000+ member groups there are very few people whom you really get to know as good friends.

This is a group of awesome desis out of Chicago & suburbs and it is intended to be exclusive. It is a smaller tight knit group making it easier to make friends not just acquaintances and intended to build genuine long lasting f …

It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age.
