About us
Our group focuses on Social Activities. It can be just about anything from just having coffee and a nice discussion to kayaking. During the warmer months, most activities are outdoors but there are no rules. You don't have to be over 50 - we just don't do a lot of clubbing or extreme sports or things those younger people do - although it sounds like fun.
I am Dianna and the group organizer. A lot of the meetups are based on my interests and my free time - so evenings and weekends mostly. You will notice that I mostly host Board Games, Kayaking, walking - mostly with my 2 dogs, and playing pickleball. Most events are in NW Chicago but not limited to that. Many events are free, If not free, the description will usually spell out any costs.
Our other, Diane (notice it is spelled differently) likes to host nature walks, bowling and other events.
We are always looking for others to host events. It is very easy - pick an activity, date, time and place and post it. Then show up. If you are interested in hosting an event, contact Dianna (me) and I will set it up so you can host.
What is not allowed is selling or marketing your product or services to our group. No MLM parties, no you cannot email everyone about your great anti-aging products, or any other products. Do not contact me and try to convince me that you have a great deal for our group.

Top Gun: Maverick w/Chicago Philharmonic info========
From the Auditorium's website:
Top Gun: Maverick was nominated for six Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Original Song, winning Best Sound.After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission, the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”
Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
I reserved 2 price points:
Dress Circle Right seats: $82 each (fees/taxes included) (6 tickets avail.)
Front Balcony Right: $65 each (fees/taxes included) (10 tickets avail.)I am sitting in the Dress Circle. You can sit in either the Dress Circle or the Front Balcony, both sections are available to us, and we do not have to all sit together. Ticket numbers are flexible right now, so I can reserve odd numbers depending on your interest in seat location.
These are the specific seat locations:
I'll need your payment by Sunday, August 23. I'll refund all money if I do not get enough interest.
Email me at tracymeetup@gmail.com or direct message me here on meetup.com to show your interest, and then I'll send you payment information. Please do not RSVP until you have submitted payment. Thank you!
