Stimulus Social Club is a network of socially conscious professionals in the Chicago area who choose to give back while throwing down! SSC realizes that in these trying times, people need to redefine how they spend their “entertainment” budget. It’s time to turn “G”reed into “G”iving and inject their hard earned money back into the city’s economy. The goal of Stimulus Social Club is to help turn up the volume on the needs of both local charitable organizations and Chicago’s restaurant and nightlife venues. Stimulus Social Club will take place at a different hip venue with a different charitable beneficiary each time. The events will be from 5:30 to 9 PM on the first Wednesday of every month. Let the drinks flow and the cash will follow!Twitter Updates
