Camaraderie, Fun,
Learning & Sharing

SAM is a non-sectarian social group of men who are retired or semi-retired.  Members participate in a variety of activities with other men who have similar interests.  Our members come from all over the northern suburbs and Chicago.  Although our meetings are held primarily in the Evanston area, events take place throughout Chicagoland.

C'mon Out

To join SAM all you need is a desire to mix and share and an active e-mail address.  If you would like to attend a couple of our events with no obligation, just send a note to info@samgroupil.org

Get Involved

Activities are started and implemented by members themselves.  Have an activity of special interest to you?  Just put out the word to the group, find others also interested, plan your event and GO.

All Men Over 55
are Welcome!

In addition to the regular focused activities, the entire membership can participate in select social activities and meetings with special topics and speakers.  Your level of participation is based strictly upon your interests.

Before returning home, Mike worked for almost two years as the main sports anchor at WTTV (CBS) in Indianapolis. Prior to his time there, he spent more than six years as a sports anchor/reporter in Austin, Tex. Mike began his career in Springfield, Ill., where he served as a sports anchor/reporter at WICS (ABC) for two years.
