Come join us at our annual members only Summer Social at a very scenic location on Wednesday June 17th 5pm-8:30pm CST.  This event takes place in the Valley Lo Paddle Hut and Paddle Courts in Glenview, IL.  Heavy appetizers and beverages will be served.  It will be a great time for members to catch up and immerse themselves in wonderful peer conversations in a casual setting.  In addition, our Philanthropy committee needs your help to raise awareness for one of our charitable organizations we partner with.

This event will take place in the indoor Paddle Hut entertainment area as well as the outdoor deck, so dress accordingly.  For those that are interested in learning or playing paddle, we will have the paddle courts and paddles available as well as club paddle pro to help. 

Our friends at Aspiritech will be joining us and we will be raising awareness for their great charitable organization (https://aspiritech.org/).  Aspiritech is a Chicago-based nonprofit that creates meaningful careers for autistic adults while building the next generation of neurodivergent tech talent. Through Aspiritech Academy, participants receive hands-on training in software quality assurance, cybersecurity and other in-demand skills that translate directly into real-world employment. Aspiritech's 90% autistic team offers a comprehensive suite of tech solutions, including quality assurance, automation, accessibility, cybersecurity and data for clients across industries. Neurodiversity is represented at every level of the organization, with the unique perspectives and unmatched creativity of different neurotypes making every initiative the nonprofit drives exceptional. By supporting Aspiritech, SIM Chicago members are investing in both a stronger workforce and a more inclusive technology community.

***Takes place inside the Paddle Hut which is just north of the main club.
