What we’re about
"Culture, Cuisine, Cocktails, Coffee & Convos = Community"
http://www.socialfundation.com for the full calendar.
This is a Chicago-Suburban meet-up group designed for people who enjoy the cinema, fine cuisine and more. Most evening events will consist of a movie, dinner, or a combination of both. Others may include a matinee followed by a film discussion afterwards at a local cafe. From time to time there will also be a foreign film, Indie or Classic movie scheduled, or even live theater.
We will have dining venues which will include diverse cuisines from around the world or around the block. In addition, other fun activities such as music venues, bowling, wine tastings, outdoor music fests/concerts, and more! Join us for ongoing dinner events like Porkapalooza, an exploration of area BBQ places; and BurgerTime, the same concept, but with Burgers. Check out the Pages section for where we've been and where we're going. Please let us know if there's some thing/some place you'd like to try, or if you'd like to host an event.
Please note: While all are welcome, consistent no-shows and those who use e-mail/Meetup to disparage other members will be removed from the group.

See all- Join our Friday Night All Levels Summer Coed Kickball League! 7 weeks only $55!Wrightwood Park, Chicago, IL
This is one of our most popular summer social leagues! Playing kickball and making new friends on Friday nights is the best way to start the weekend. Tons of people join my leagues by themselves or with friends to be active and play in a fun all levels activity, but also to meet people! After registering, you'll get placed on a coed team of others around your age for the season.
The socializing begins at games and continues together with all teams over drinks at our post-game bar a few blocks from the field. Hanging out with the same group of players week after week for 7 weeks during the season makes it effortless to really get to know people and create lasting friendships.
If you want to get placed on a team but can't make it to every game, it's no problem! We put extra players on every team that we make so it's all good. Teams are made by age group for anyone aged 21-42, with half guys and half girls.
*Don't pay attention to the RSVP #. This league is promoted in lots of places and always fills up every season!
