Not Your Average Social Club

Not Your Average Social Club is the ultimate meetup group for adventure seekers, community explorers, and creative individuals that prefer no drama and building new friendships!

Join us as we uncover hidden gems and venture into the heart of our communities through movies, arts & entertainment, eco-conscious activities, team trivia, museums, mall/trail walking, and more. Our group is open to men, women, couples, singles, people of all ages over 21 (although, there will be family friendly events if there is interest!) The main rules are only to be kind to one another and we'll avoid the discussions of politics and religion. Admittedly in today's world this can be difficult, but this group is created to provide a judgment-free, safe space zone.

From social networking and brainstorming sessions to promoting cooperation and collaboration, we believe in fostering a vibrant and inclusive community. Join us for delicious meals, refreshing drinks, interactive games, and engaging discussions that encourage fun, healthy living. Unleash your higher self, embrace your inner nerd, learn social dancing, and embark on day trips and other exciting events with like-minded individuals. We are truly encouraging the participation of many to come up with free and low cost opportunities to spend time with others who want to make new friends.

Let's create unforgettable memories together!

The small print:

• While the location shows Gurnee, IL, events will be scheduled within about a 45 minute drive radius from Gurnee, unless it's a special event.
  • Please don't let the location keep you from joining the group to get our event notices!
• For many of the events an RSVP won't be required, but is always appreciated.
  • If you RSVP and change your mind or can't make it, please change your intention on the event page. It's polite to the others in the group and the venue for the event.
  • Depending on the event, there could be restrictions to the number of people who can attend. A waitlist will always be an option. So PLEASE CHANGE YOUR RSVP IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND.
• I've had to add the rule that no one leaves an event before their check is paid. If you leave or put your money down on the table and leave, I will ban you from future involvement. NO EXCEPTIONS.
• If you use two profiles to sign up for events or are a consistent no-show at events, you will be banned from future involvement. I am not taking attendance, but reviewing the list of people who RSVP for frequent abuse of this rule.
• Remember to:
  • Be KIND
  • No DRAMA
  • Have FUN
