For women seeking men or women: This isn’t the group for you. This group’s focus is on developing lasting friendships, not providing dates for members resulting in potential competition for same.

For men seeking women or men: This isn’t the group for you. This group has no interest whatsoever in providing a hunting ground.

For people seeking honest friendship in a trusting, loving environment with real, authentic individuals, who are worth investing your time with, is what this group strives for. Please don’t request to join if you are capable of bringing anything less to the table. Don’t waste our time or yours. If you’re still reading...

We are a fun and friendly group in the far northwest suburbs! We do a variety of activities and are always open to suggestions. Let's get together for activities in our area to include happy hours, bowling, live music, wine/beer tastings, paint and sip parties, hiking, kayaking, bar bingo, dining, movies, festivals and more! Most members are 40-50 something years young, but all are welcome! Come join us for our next event!

This group will be kept small and active, with more intimate events so often the number of attendees is limited, depending upon the event and whether or not a reservation needs to be made with the establishment - so there are a few rules as follow.

Group rules: 1. No party crashing; showing up to an event with no RSVP or while still on a waitlist (it’s not fair to others left on a waitlist who can’t/don’t attend). Also, it might make other members feel uneasy by you showing up unexpectedly due to not being on the list of attendees. Even if you sit by yourself or with others you might bring with you, why would you want to be the elephant(s) in the room? Cliques from other groups are unwelcome...we aren’t in high school anymore. Lastly, there likely will not be seat(s) for you, depending upon the event; 2. In keeping with the focus to keep the club small and active, please attend events at least every month or two if possible; 3. Please keep your RSVPs current or you will be flagged as a no show; too many no shows and you’re out (it’s not fair to those left on a waitlist and unable to attend, and leaves an empty seat at the table). Also, we will waste time waiting around for no shows who are still on the list of attendees; 4. Be kind and considerate to others in the group and at the places we go; come to me with any issues that might need addressed.

Please Note: We have no self serving interests other than a nominal $2 monthly fee to attend our events. Our focus is to create opportunities to socialize, meet people and have fun! There will never be a meetup fee at any event (surprise or otherwise) beyond your monthly fee. The monthly fees will be applied towards monthly organizer fees and event expenses throughout the year. Thank you all in advance for your generosity and support!

Disclaimers:

Algonquin Social Club is not a dating group. Although we are happy when two people meet and connect for something meaningful, please be respectful. Those making unwelcome advances, or otherwise making another member feel uncomfortable, might be asked to adjust their behavior, or leave the group. We want every club member, male and female, to feel comfortable getting together for an enjoyable time.

We also ask that you please drink responsibly and arrange for transportation if you enjoy yourself a little more than you intended.

Be advised, we reserve the right to dismiss any individual that we feel may cause harm, disruption and/or general discomfort to other members.
