Welcome to "FUN FRIENDS GROUP!", aka FFG!

I'm a 34 year old stay at home mom in Schaumburg that has both children in school. I realize just how isolating it can be. I love socializing and going out for coffee. It hit me that I bet there are plenty of others out there that would like to get out, meet new people, and enjoy a drink. I was thinking of meeting at a different Starbucks depending where everyone lives for each meet up. I'm open to other coffee shops and we can always vote if we want to stay with Starbucks or chose to altern …

This is a semi-social group meaning, a club of people that can meetup at various coffee shops to study. Ever have to pee really bad while you're studying and have your $2,000 laptop sitting on the table? Nobody to watch your stuff?

We are eager for you to join this newly formed meet up group created just for parents who want to be "families at their best," and especially, parents of tweens and teens.

We are a club of people wishing to win the lottery and pooling our resources to increase our odds.

All of us will join weekly lotto pools by scanning and emailing and then I will forward a number summary to the group for that week.
