My partner and I  belong to a  Meetup.com group here in Chicago for Gay and Lesbian Professionals. From time to time, organizers throw different  events. So in an effort to reach a new audience, I thought I would share those events here, as they come up.  It’s  only $5  per year to be member and most of the events are very inexpensive to attend. Plus it’s a great way to network with other  LGBT Professionals.  So check it out!

The festivities take place from 7-10 p.m. in the mod back room at Fat Cat (4840 N. Broadway). We’ll have several rounds of small-group board games to break the ice and we’ll rotate the tables so that you can flirt with everyone in attendance over Apples to Apples, Catch Phrase, Taboo, Scattergories, Boggle, Homogenius and more.
