One of the most rewarding aspects of participating in The Illinois Club is belonging to the various Interest Groups. In these informal social gatherings, members meet to explore common interests. As a paid member you may join or visit any Interest Group at any time. For activities involving couples, please join via the couple membership.
Any curious non-member may try an interest group two times before needing to commit to an Illinois Club membership ($25-individual or $50-couple). We hope you decide to join us. Just let the coordinator of your particular interest group know that you want to become a permanent member, and they will add you to their mailing list. Although non-members may try an interest group at any time during the year, we ask that Interest Group Coordinators submit their first list of members to the Interest Group Chair by Oct. 31 of this membership year.
