• 1PM - Optional: More volleyball, frisbee, etc...
  

TRANSPORTATION:

• Driving: There is alot of parking Montrose Beach, however some of the closer parking may fill up quickly, which is one of the reasons to arrive ontime :)
  
• Public transportation: Several CTA buses stop at Montrose Beach, although there may be a bit of a walk to the picnic (<1mile). http://tripsweb.rtach...

• Volleyball, net, frisbee
  
• A couple of large plastic tarps
  
• Some drinking water, ice, some extra paper plates, plastic cups, plastic "silverware", paper towels
  

WHAT TO BRING:

• A beverage to drink/dish to share - Please follow our potluck rules (http://www.chicagoveg...)
  
• Although we will supply them, we encourage you to bring your own plates/bowl/utensils/drinking cup (to be more eco-friendly)
  
• The expectation to have a great time!
  

Feel free to come either for potluck or volleyball or both. Please check what other people will bring and specify what dish you plan to bring as you RSVP so all of us won't a bring potato salad!
