Hey Chicagoland Singles!

Welcome back to another edition of Where's Your Boo? (Issue #49). If you're a returning reader, you probably noticed this week's refresh. We figured the newsletter deserved a refresh too, to keep up with Chicagoland's refreshing singles and speed dating scene this summer.
And boy is it refreshing! This week's lineup includes traditional speed dating and mixers, along with events inspired by popular hobbies like salsa, pickleball, and lakefront walks.
Oh, and your couch just called. It wants a night off…
Let’s jump into this week’s events!
