Peoria Area Young Adult Social Meetup

Who's up for a game?

Come join us for a night of fun tabletop gaming! Games are usually decided by members on our Discord Server and the Board Game Night Night channel (https://discord.gg/PBCSvQYkXa). Get ready to roll some dice, play some cards, and have some fun!

Of course, this kind of get together would not be possible without Fondulac Library, who graciously lent us a space in one of their meeting rooms on the second floor to play games on a bi-weekly basis, so thank you Fondulac for helping make this possible!

I'd like to start this post by recognizing everyone for their amazing help over the past 2 years at A.R.K. Animal Shelter.

Sherri, Pam, and Jeff are delighted to have us - once a month - help them out with an assortment of tasks at the shelter. These may include:

• Cleaning cat rooms
• Bringing in pet food
• Socializing with cats
• Socializing with dogs
• Outdoor repairs/yard work
• Vacuuming, sweeping, etc.

Along with anything else that we may get assigned on a monthly basis. Join us for a wonderful time at The A.R.K. (477 IL-26, Lacon, IL 61540) and you might just meet your new best friend!

Please note, volunteers must sign the A.R.K. disclaimer & liability waiver form which releases the shelter from any liability if one of us were to get injured during our time volunteering.

Visit our Discord server (https://discord.gg/D3ATJ6aKSx) and agree to our Code of Conduct to see the volunteer waiver form, along with much more information regarding helping out this animal shelter.

We look forward to seeing some new faces in 2025!

P.S. From those volunteers and donors at our recent Holiday Party, who helped raise money for this wonderful shelter, to those who head out on a monthly basis to clean, assist with facilities tasks, and socialize with cats & dogs at the A.R.K. Animal Shelter, a huge THANK YOU!

All the best,

By popular demand... the Peoria Area Young Adult Social Meetup is hosting Chess nights at the Fondulac Library every other Monday at 6:30pm.

All are welcome - whether you are a beginner, seasoned player, expert, or competitive chess player. Bring your favorite Chess board and pieces!

We will spend approximately 2 hours playing Chess and you are welcome to enjoy some wonderful coffee or snacks beforehand at Noodles and Company, or Panera, who has sponsored our Riverfront clean-up events in past years.

For event updates, please check the weekly Meetup page and our Discord server (https://discord.gg/D3ATJ6aKSx) for more information.

As requested by our members, let's do a monthly dinner!

Get together, catch up with friends, and join us on the last Wednesday of each month for dinner at a restaurant of our choice.

Please post in the "comments" section below if you'd like to go to a particular place. Or, join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/D3ATJ6aKSx and be a part of the discussion.

I will make a reservation if we have a larger group, and (depending on size) we may put some tables together.

We look forward to seeing some regulars and new faces!
