I'm looking for a playgroup in the area of North Aurora that doesn't have a lot of 'rules' of attending events and that doesn't charge a fee. My one child is going into Kindergarden so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to attend events, but I would like to try to get out with my youngest child to meet other kids and other moms. I'm so in need of making some Mommy friends. I think I'll only be available one or two days per week or on the weekends.
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. I really can't afford any membership fees so that's why I'm looking here. Everything I found on meetup.com was asking for a membership fee.
Thanks

I found a playgroup through my church. Our park district also had some open gym time for kids and their moms and I went to that.
Have you gone to story time at the library? I met a mom there and we did playdates at the park after story time.
I can't believe they ask for a membership fee or have rules! Kids get sick, moms stay up all night with them....there are many reasons why you have to skip and you shouldn't be penalized because of it!
Hi J.!
My friend organizes the Kane County Playgroup right out of North Aurora. I know they are on Big Tent. www.bigtent.com I think. I belonged to it for 3 years and loved it. Met some wonderful women through there that I still keep in close contact with!
Good luck!

Try www.napervillemoms.org. There are members from the surrounding areas and no fees. Currently, there are 2 weekly playgroups, regular field trips, as well as lots moms-only social events. You can sign-up to be a member on the site, or you can respond to me privately w/your contact info and I'll get you in touch with our mom in charge of membership.
The moms at my church have a playgroup that meets at parks on Wednesdays through the summer. We are located in Warrenville, but go to parks in the surrounding communities. We are meeting at Phillips Park in Aurora this Wednesday. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you more information. There is no fee, and no-obligation. Just show up and have fun:)
