Infinite Success was born out of a call for something other than the traditional networking group that offers the chance to deliver business cards and elevator speeches.

We are a group of 35 and older mothers who need adult interaction and a night out (or breakfast) now and then! Meetups are held in Peoria and sometimes east of the river, too.
