Find Your People • Build Friendships • Have Fun Welcome to the McHenry County Neurodivergent Young Adults Social Club! We are a social group for neurodivergent young adults ages 18–25 who are looking to build friendships, connect with peers, and enjoy social activities in a welcoming and accepting environment. This group is designed for young adults who may be autistic, have ADHD, are AuDHD, identify as neurodivergent, are naturally introverted, or simply find it difficult to connect with others and make friends. A formal diagnosis is not required to participate. Many young adults are successful in school, work, and daily life but still struggle with social situations, finding people they relate to, or building lasting friendships. Our goal is to create a comfortable community where members can be themselves, meet others with similar experiences, and develop meaningful social connections.   Meeting Information Unity Spiritual Center of Woodstock 225 W. Calhoun St. Woodstock, IL. 60098 Last Friday of Every Month 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Activities May Include • Board games and card games • Movie nights • Creative projects • Casual conversation and social time • Community outings and local events • Shared hobbies and interests • Opportunities to build friendships in a relaxed and supportive setting Who Is This Group For?

Members should be able to: • Attend and participate without a caregiver or one-on-one support staff • Communicate their needs independently • Manage personal care and safety needs during meetings and outings • Engage appropriately in a peer social environment This group is designed for young adults who are generally independent in their daily lives but may experience challenges with social connection, friendship building, social confidence, or finding a sense of belonging. While we strive to be welcoming and inclusive, this group is not equipped to provide individual supervision, behavioral support, personal care assistance, or therapeutic services. What This Group Is A place to make friends A place to meet people with similar experiences A place to have fun and build confidence A supportive social community What This Group Is Not Therapy Counseling Case management A supervised support program Our focus is simple: helping young adults build friendships, create connections, and become part of a community where they feel accepted and valued.

Join us in Woodstock Square Park for a special Halfway to Groundhog Day celebration featuring music, movie memories, and a landmark dedication honoring the town’s most famous festival. Bob Hudgins, Locations Manager for the film Groundhog Day, returns to lead a guided walking tour of iconic filming locations around town, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and insights. The tour begins at the bandstand in the Square, so bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in for an afternoon of entertainment. Enjoy live music from the Woodstock Community Choir, featuring favorites from Woodstock Willie’s Songbook, including a community sing-along of “I Got You Babe.” The celebration continues with Die Musikmeisters, the Groundhog Day Polka Band, bringing festive energy with “Pennsylvania Polka.” A highlight of the afternoon will be the dedication of a new bronze groundhog statue in the Square, the heart of where much of the film was shot. Created by renowned sculptor Erik Blome, whose public works can be found across the country and around the world, this new installation adds a lasting tribute to Woodstock’s film legacy. Following the dedication, guests are invited across the street to Squire on the Square at the Courthouse Center to continue the celebration with the traditional Drink to World Peace toast on the patio.
