Hello everyone!! Welcome to, the Mah Jongg for Everyone! group. This page will explain how the group works. In our Meetup we play, American Mah Jongg. In other words, if you don’t know what a Mah Jongg card is and or don’t play with jokers, then you haven’t played American Mah Jongg and you will need to come first to a “Teaching and Experienced Players Session”. After you have been taught by Cathy (Meetup Organizer), you then are considered an “Experienced” player and can attend any “Experi …

… The idea I have for this group is things are always less costly with small groups. I don't mean group travel like tour groups that run you through cities in a heartbeat because the are on tight schedules. I mean small groups of 8, 9 or 10 people who rent apartments to share and live among the locals like we actually lived there. In the last 3 years I have put together small groups for Rome, Florence and Amalfi Coast. The number of people have been 7, 10, 6 and 18. We all had our own rooms in wo …

… Seemingly both simple and enigmatic, the writings point to a commonsense appreciation of the here and now - with no attempt to make oneself useful (or useless); but rather embodying a spirit that abandons struggle and intentioned design. The two main works explored are the Tao te Ching and the Chuang Tzu. Yet, the group is opened to any ideas that touch on the essence of the writings. Curiously, the Tao te Ching represents on one level a primer for how a ruler should run a country (i. …

20 years ago we started a movement to bring a focused effort to have an Asian presence in Chicago's nightlife. Over 2,000 events later and over 2 million attendees, we're just getting started. This Meetup group is less about being informed about such events, and more about finding like minds within the events. With social being so synonymous with digital nowadays, it only follows that we have a proper medium to organize a party within the party. Whether you are new to Chicago or have been here y …

… We also offer discounted & pay-what-you-can access to our regularly scheduled workshops & events at Infuse. AND we have recently opened this group up to allow members to post donation based classes & yoga events in other locations on here as well! "Pay what you can" means exactly that. Please be mindful in your decision. When you're feeling stretched to the limit, give less... when you're feeling abundant, give more. Bring cash only please. Our goal is to create a support network in order to ena …

My vision for this group is to bring everyone together from photographers to models, and makeup artists to fashion designers- working together and helping one another build portfolios, expand your network, help those with less experience, and schmooze with others in the industry. I want to welcome everyone from professionals to those who are just trying to get their foot in the door by organizing themed photography events and workshops in the Chicago Metro area. If you are a photographer, model, …

Exploring the culture and night life of Chicago can get expensive. This is a meetup group for things a little more on the inexpensive side- a great for parties, discount theatre tickets, bar discounts, free billiards nights, free days at museums, trips to the zoo, etc. The less expensive it is to go out, the *more* we can all get together! We'll see if we can get group discounts to some events, explore some "free days" at museums, go visit cheap greasy spoon diners, throw parties, etc. If you ca …

I'm intend for this group to feel less formally organized by a leader/organizer. Remember when you were seven years old and you went down to the field on Saturday and people were just there and you had no difficulty finding someone to play catch with? Remember how therapeutic it felt? My sense is that there are quite a few people who like to throw a ball back and forth and, gee, wouldn't it be fun to know you can go somewhere during a particular timeframe and there'll be people who want t …

… That means a selection of BYOB's, events on specials night at some of the best restaurants in the city, an Around the World in Chicago dinner series highlighting new ethnic restaurants, and then some events that have less to do with food and more about exploring culture in Chicago!
