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
