The Morphing to Friends from the Underground Chicago Underground Social Media Society (CUSMS) held their first Monthly Bash in September, 2009 in Downers Grove (DuPage County), Illinois. Having met with rapid success, two of the co-founders Bradley Will and Gabe Strom decided to move to California with a few of their social media business buddies to create a social media rockstar reality program. While they worked that plan into something even bigger, CUSMS Co-Organizer Kim Johnson Redd l …

… This group is about meeting new friends with similar interests, networking, socializing and basically just having a good time. It is open to single, not-so-single, divorced, married, partnered, etc., individuals.

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

My wife and I are a lesbian 30 something couple looking for some normal, down to earth / mature friends (gay and straight) that we can chill with. Although a trip to a bar is not out of the question, we would prefer to plan meet ups that are more constructive and fun. We also would like to have a meet up group closer to our stomping grounds (go A-town!) and know there are other people out there looking for the same. If this matches what you are looking for, please come join us.

Friendship ; it seems like such a simple thing. No judging or tearing down of character, no need to fix or change the other person. No whisper of jealousy or competition, not even a wink of dishonesty. A person to whom you can be sincere..with whom you never need to pretend.. to whom you never need to defend yourself.. on whom you can depend whether present or absent...with whom you can reveal your true self without fear of betrayal..Who does not feel she owns you because you are her friend..who …

Have you and your children recently moved to the Naperville area? We all know it's pretty easy to find playgroups and mom's groups for toddlers and preschoolers, but what about those of us who move here and are new to the area and our children are long past the playgroup age? If you have relocated to an area when your children are ages 8 and up, you know how difficult it can be to find a good group of friends for your child! This group welcomes parents and children new to the area, who are looki …

Hi Everyone! Welcome to our group. After attending several events and meeting some wonderful people thru meetup Liz, Sheila and I formed this group in March of 2008.

Without the initial help & suggestions and input of the original members this group would not be what it is today. Many thanks should go to them and to Liz & Sheila who stayed focus o …
