2026 Kickball League - Registration OPEN! (Wednesday, May 06, 2026)

2026 LGNN Kickball League

Kickball is back for Season 4! No experience necessary– this is a great way to get outside, socialize, be a part of a team and have fun like a kid! This is a co-ed league so bring a spouse, neighbor or come on your own to have a great time and meet other LGNN members.

The league will be Wednesday evenings for four weeks in May, starting May 6 from 7:30-8:30 pm with post-game drinks! Games will be played at Robinhood Park in La Grange Park. You’ll be able to request one other member/couple to be placed on your team.

The cost is $30 per person to cover the cost of t-shirts and field rental for four weeks. Please sign up by Wednesday, April 15 so we can set teams and get t-shirts ordered in time. Once you register, we will reach out to you to collect t-shirt sizes and team requests.

New updates this year

LGNN Members who register should try to attend at least one game. This league is not for spouses to play without LGNN members for the whole season, as this will make the teams uneven and take a registration away from another LGNN member.

Babysitters wanted! We are looking for a few older kids to help watch younger children on the playground at games. An email will be going out to players who register with more info.

Let's play ball!

LGNN Golf League 2026 (Wednesday, June 10, 2026)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT

LGNN Summer Golf league is Back!

Back by popular demand, LGNN Nine and Wine will continue again this summer! If you would like to participate, please register below!

Based on the success of the format last year, we will be keeping the options the same to allow for vacations and planned absences.

There will be the traditional 8 week option - this allows you to make as many weeks as you can and gives you the flexibility to sign up week by week for your preferred time.

We will also be offering a 6 week option - This option works best if you know in advance which weeks you will not be in attendance. This allows us enough time to reserve the proper amount of tee times at the beginning of the season.

Please register below for your preferred package. We will then reach out to those of you who signed up for the 6 week option to determine which dates you are not available.

Please email Jenny Perlongo with questions! longjm05@gmail.com

Empty Nesters Book Club | The Husbands (Thursday, June 11, 2026)

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This book club is open to all Empty Nesters who enjoy reading and sharing their thoughts on a variety of genres. We are looking forward to having an engaging and lively discussion about this month's selection!

March's Selection:

Title: The Husbands

Author: Holly Gramazio

Book Description: Fiction – 480 pages

A thrillingly original debut, The Husbands brilliantly asks how we navigate life, love, and choice in a world of never-ending options.

Thirty-something Lauren has been leading a steady, enjoyable single life: great friends, good job, and a nice flat in south-east London, until, one night, she comes back from a party to find a stranger in her home. His name is Michael. He’s attractive, sweet, and, according to him, her friends, and the pictures on her walls, he’s Lauren’s husband.

Just as Lauren is trying to figure out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael climbs up into the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man climbs down, and a new, slightly altered life reforms around her.

Lauren quickly realizes that her attic can somehow—incredibly—supply her with endless iterations of lives and partners. Cycling through marriages—sometimes lasting weeks, sometimes less than five minutes—Lauren grapples with her fate. If swapping husbands is as easy as changing a lightbulb, when do you know you’ve found the right one? How do you recognize what’s good, or what simple happiness feels like, in a world that demands constant optimization with one more search or swipe left?

Registration: Space is limited to 11 registrants, with a waitlist enabled. If you are certain you can attend, please be sure to register early so that we can accommodate as many interested members as possible. If your plans change, kindly let us know (as far in advance as possible) so that someone else can take your spot.
