Next Beach Volleyball Outing:

More volleyball this Sunday (the 19th) @ 11:00

The volleyball nets are going up @ 11:00 this sunday. I will not be there, but am giving my net to Darek for him to set up as well as his own.

As always, look for the black and orange Biohazard flag and the yellow Smiley Flag up on the north courts.

Hope you all have fun and I will see you on the courts next time.

Thursday, June 23: MEETinCHICAGO June New Member Happy Hour at Joe's on Weed

Event Details
It's that time again, MeetInChicago's biggest event of the month...New Member Happy Hour! Each month we have welcomed more and more new people, and have had over 100 members attend. Let's not be let down this month, the weather should be beautiful and we’re outside, so no excuses! If you haven't been to an event yet, this is the one!

WHERE
For our June Happy Hour, we will be trying something NEW! We’ll be heading to Joe’s Sports Bar on Weed Street (940 W. Weed)! We’ll be out in the beer garden, and although it won’t be dedicated to just our group, we’ll have nametags for everyone from MEETin. There’s plenty of room for everyone, so the more, the merrier!!

DRINK SPECIALS (valid 7p-9p):
$3.00 Drafts
$3.00 Well Drinks

FOOD!
Joe’s also has food available, if you feel like heading right over after work. Their menu is available HERE.

ABOUT NEW MEMBER HAPPY HOUR
If you've just joined the group or have yet to come to an event, Happy Hour is the event for you! It’s a crowd favorite and you’ll find brand new members, new junkies, side-by-side with founding members! Come meet other new and current members and find out about the activities planned for the coming months.

Happy Hour is a low-key setting to get introduced to the group. If you can only come for part of the time that's ok! You can come and go as you want!

HOW TO FIND US
Just head to the Beer Garden! We’ll have someone at the door handing out nametags and giving you a nudge in the right direction. Don’t’ worry if you’re shy… our members are pretty outgoing and someone will “adopt” you and help make introductions. If you have any trouble locating us, just ask anyone who works for Joe's where Cliff is. This is his second home. ;-)

Email me with any questions you might have.

See you there!!
