About us
This is a group for introverts in the area to get together, have fun, and make new friends. We host regularly scheduled monthly events like crafts, team building, volunteering, dinners, and other activities throughout the year as we discover new things to do together.
- The group focuses on building belonging, friendship, and community, reflecting the social connection part of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and supporting several of the dimensions of wellness, especially social and emotional well-being.
A few rules to follow:
- This is not a dating group. We’re here for friends and fun. This is not Tinder. Please conduct yourself in a mature manner. Harassment or inappropriate behavior by members will result in removal from the group.
- We want everyone to feel welcome. Racist or sexist remarks, hate speech, and/or purposely making others uncomfortable will not be tolerated.
- Please be mindful of sensitive topics such as gender identity, sexuality, politics, religion, and similar subjects. Unless an event or space is specifically designed for those discussions, we encourage keeping conversations light and respectful for everyone.
Late Policy
If you RSVP but cannot attend, please update your RSVP at least 12 hours before the event. This allows organizers to adjust reservations and notify waitlisted members. Some hosts may not allow late arrivals, so please check with the host beforehand.
No-Shows
Due to the large number of members who RSVP to multiple events, members who frequently no-show may be automatically moved to Not Going for future events. If you truly plan to attend, simply message the host and you can be re-added. Chronic no-shows may be removed from the group at organizer discretion.
Cover Charges
A small number of selected events may include a clearly listed, non-refundable cover charge to help with supplies, space reservations, and group tips when needed, whole majority of the group events will be free without one.
- All events remain going-Dutch unless stated otherwise, meaning attendees cover their own food, admission, and personal costs.
- Any event with a cover charge will always include a transparent breakdown in the event description. Cover charges are not intended to generate personal profit. Funds are used solely to support that specific event, community experiences, and the group’s annual hosting fee on the platform.
Our goal is to keep experiences accessible, welcoming, and supportive of social wellness and confidence for everyone.

World Hunger Day: Pack Meals, Make an Impact
Feed My Starving Children, 740 Wiley Farm Ct, Schaumburg, IL, USIn recognition of World Hunger Day, we’re coming together to take meaningful action in a simple, powerful way. We’ll be volunteering with Feed My Starving Children to help pack meals that will be sent to communities facing food insecurity around the world. Each meal packed goes directly toward feeding children and families in need, and every set of hands truly makes a difference.
This is a great event if you:
- Prefer low-pressure, task-focused socializing
- Enjoy giving back in a tangible, hands-on way
- Want to meet others while working toward a shared goal
No experience is needed. You’ll be guided through everything, and the work is done in small groups, making it easy to ease in and participate at your own pace.
⚠️ Required RSVP (Important) ⚠️
To participate, you must sign up through FMSC here:

Spots are managed through their system, so this step is required in addition to RSVPing on Meetup.- If your plans change, please update your RSVP so someone else can take your spot. These events tend to fill quickly, and we want to make sure every spot goes to someone who can attend.
Whether you come for the cause, the community, or both, you’ll leave knowing you contributed to something real. Let’s do something meaningful together! 💛
