This is the main (home) page for StepanOut. It's still a work-in-progress, so if you have any thoughts, comments, questions, etc, you know who to reach out to!!! (hahaha ME!)
Eventually, there will be a link to this page from somewhere on the Stepans.com website. For now, not-so-much.
If you’re not familiar with “StepanOut”:
It’s a very casual meal (currently lunch, but in the past due to schedules and logistics was SUPPER) for us to simply chat, solve the world’s problems, rant a little, laugh, etc. Think 90 minutes or so once a month (generally the 3rd Saturday currently).
Back in early 2013 we were going out for a bite to eat one day. As we were driving to the restaurant, we passed several other places where we said “we should try THAT place sometime too”. Well, we took the bull by the horns and said “alright, let’s make a list and go to one of those places each month”. And StepanOut was born. It’s a bit of a word-pun in case you didn’t catch it (“Steppin’ Out”), and it is most certainly NOT limited to only those with “Stepan” in their family tree …
We'd love to have you join us sometime!
Sincerely, the "Founding Members": Rob Gaida, Chris & Carly Imgrund, and Mark Stepan
Oh, and we use a Google Group to keep people informed, so if you're in that group and don't want to be, you can either self-remove yourself by following the link at the bottom of any of the notifications (standard G-Group stuff) or let one of us know. If you know someone that might want to be in the group but isn't, let one of us know and we'll take care of that as well. It's really just a couple of messages each month, so not a bombardment.
This Google Sheet is where we track who went where when and also the possible places to visit in the future.
Here are the most recent 3 Google Photo Albums.
I'll keep snooping (occasionally), but for now you'll have to click on the map below to see all of the StepanOut locations on a map. This is for the visually-inspired among you ... haha
OK, here go 2 more maps. First is HISTORY (where we've been) and the second is RESTAURANTS (where we might yet go), Yes, a bit of overlap with the above, but I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of this stuff in G-Maps. That is, there's a "Saved Places" and also a "My Maps". The above map is a Saved version. The 2 below are My Maps, so I think a little more easily updated. But we'll see.
