We are a group of concerned parents commited to improving responsiveness to the needs of children of divorce and separation in Illinois.

We started this group to get parents and kids out of the house and having fun! Lets go to our many local parks and play until the street lights come on. We want our kids to play the old school games that we grew up loving, games like red rover, kick ball, home free, freeze tag and street hockey. Lets get out and have fun. Everyone is welcome to join; moms, dads, single parents, working parents, or SAHM's. We'll plan meet-up's during the day, evening and weekends so that there are opportunities f …

Hispanic parents (with small kids) living in Chicago are welcome to join this group. We know how life changes after having kids.

Nosotros sabemos lo dificil que es conocer gente nueva y divertirse después de tener hijos. Sobretodo, cuando l …

Hyde Park Area Parents is a group for moms and dads who discuss the "fun" of parenthood, plan meet ups, socialize, and create a community for our children. While our kids become friends, we can have conversations. Playdates, story time, parties, lunches, museums, classes, MOMMY/DADDY NIGHTS OUT- just some of the fun meetups in store. Parenting is far from simple, so why not have support from the mom you see at Starbucks or the dad who frequents the same park as you?

This group is for parents who put their kids first, but would also like to keep their sanity. While most "Meetups" in this group will be for kids, there will also be "Meetups" put together themed for the parents. In the latter Meetup, parents are still encouraged to bring their kids so they can play together. For example, we can put together a play date in which there is a poker game for the adults. Please bring your ideas to the table :). Overall the top goal here is to provide fun, exercise an …

I'm interested in meeting other Out (semi/ fully, home/work) Professional, Gay, Black Men (OPGBM). My desire to create this Meet Up group stems primarily from feeling like I'm the only 'OPGBM' on the planet. While it's easy to connect with my caucasion counterparts...in the 10 yrs I've lived in Chicago...I can't say the same about meeting other OPGBMs. I'm a successful, well-educated, ambitous, out, professional, gay, black man. I would love to meet other OPGBMs in the world to discuss music, la …
