Jelly is a casual place for freelancers, entrepreneurs, etc. to meet and work together. We meet at Noble Tree on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 12pm-4pm.
Working at home has a lot of benefits, but social interaction is not one of them. Jelly is a biweekly gathering of freelancers, entrepreneurs, telecommuters and other professionals with flexible working arrangements. Anyone who wants to meet cool people, get some work done and have some fun is welcome.
Designers, developers, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, marketing folks... Jelly professionals are a varied bunch. Some people come once a month, some people are regulars.

Spring is officially here, and I can think of no better way to take advantage than by enjoying a friendly game of flag football and eating orange slices.
Join Jelly and The Coop next Saturday, May 15th, at Grant Park for some football fun. Men and women are welcome, no special equipment or athletic talent is required, and it’s of course free. All you need to do is RSVP at the link below:

We’ll be meeting at the corner of Jackson and Columbus at 10am, and heading to the field from there.
If you’ve been itching to get out to Jelly but haven’t found the time during the week, this would be a great opportunity to get to know everyone. We hope to see you there!

Jelly’s last pot luck event was a great success – we had 15 people from Jelly and the COOP attend, and had a ton of great food and drink. The Jelly happy hours are always a blast, but there’s something about sitting down together and enjoying food that you actually made yourself. We’re planning on doing another one soon.
Jelly member Allie Osmar was kind enough to snap some photos from the event:
