About us

This is a group for introverts in the Greater Chicagoland Suburbs 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.

Our goal is to help people build genuine friendships, feel like they belong, and become part of a welcoming community. We believe regular social connection plays an important role in overall 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.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Crystal Lake is a community fundraising event held in downtown Crystal Lake to support Alzheimer’s care, research, and awareness. The colored flowers you see at the event—called the Promise Garden—each represent a different personal connection to the disease.

🌿 What the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Crystal Lake is the world’s largest Alzheimer’s awareness and fundraising event, held annually in more than 600 communities. Crystal Lake hosts its walk in the downtown area, typically beginning at 26 N. Williams Street, with festivities starting around 8:00 a.m. and the walk beginning shortly after the opening ceremony at 9:00 a.m.

The event brings together families, caregivers, supporters, and those living with Alzheimer’s to raise funds for research, local support programs, and advocacy. It’s not a race—people of all ages and abilities participate. A key emotional moment of the event is the Promise Garden Ceremony, where participants hold up colored flowers that symbolize their personal reason for walking.

🌸 What the Flower Colors Mean (Promise Garden) Each flower color represents a different relationship to Alzheimer’s:

• Blue — You are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. This color honors individuals currently facing the disease.

• Purple — You have lost someone to Alzheimer’s. This flower represents remembrance and grief for loved ones who have passed.

• Yellow — You are supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s. It symbolizes caregivers and the essential role they play.

• Orange — You support the cause and the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. This is for advocates who may not have a personal connection but believe in the mission.

• White — Hope for the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. Only one white flower is typically displayed, symbolizing the future goal of a cure.

🌼 Why the Colors Matter The Promise Garden is designed to show the collective strength and diverse experiences of the community. When each color is announced during the ceremony, participants raise their flowers, creating a powerful visual representation of hope, loss, support, and determination.
