Hey Chicagoland Singles!
(To see the entire list of events, PLEASE CLICK HERE)
Welcome back to another edition of Where’s Your Boo? (issue #48), where instead of handing out yellow and red cards, we hand out links to the best events in the Chicagoland area to meet singles.
Our fellow Americans kick off the week (no pun intended) by facing Belgium in the World Cup’s round of 16. At the same time, our fellow singles events organizers are kicking off the week putting together multiple events to help you find your boo.
So while you are rooting for a team to win the Cup, our events organizers are rooting for you to show up!
Let’s jump into this week’s events!
