September Potluck Picnic on Montrose beach

Montrose Ave Beach (map)

Selected By: Vadim

With this potluck we will close the summer season for Montrose Beach picnics.

We would like to play volleyball, but nets, lines, and balls may not be available to rent at this time from the beach house. Does anyone have these items that they could bring?
Otherwise it will be just a potluck and frisbees but we may bring some balls for football and volleyball too.

LOCATION:
We will meet at the same place as before: a grass area south of the boathouse [which is located on the east side N. Simmons Drive, between Wilson and Montrose]. We will post "ChicagoVeg" sign. Here is the map: http://files.meetup.c...

TRANSPORTATION:
There should be plenty of parking at Montrose Beach at the time we are having the event (which is one of the reasons to have it "earlyish"). If you live in the city, and want to ride your bike, that is also a good option.

WHAT WE WILL SUPPLY:
* balls, frisbees/aerobies
* A couple of large plastic tarps
* Some drinking water, ice, some extra paper plates, plastic cups, plastic "silverware", paper towels
* Some PRIZES!

WHAT TO BRING:
* A beverage to drink/dish to share - Please follow our potluck rules (http://www.meetup.com...)
* The expectation to have a great time!

RSVP:
Please check RSVP what other people will bring and specify what dish you plan to bring in comment area of your RSVP so all of us won't a bring potato salad!

CONTACT: Mike Mackaplow at [masked]

DONATION: We will accept $1 optional donation for this event. Please follow the link for explanations: http://www.meetup.com...

NOTE: This is outside event and subject to weather conditions. We will post any changes to our website and will send an email but if you are not clear if the event is "on", contact Mike.

    Hola. Did we ever get the volleyball equipment?

    Sophie - We will probably find out about renting the net for the volleyball from Mike on the day of the event. However, we are going to have a nice potluck regardless. I plan to bring some balls and frisbees also. So I look forward to see you there!

    Sophie - The beach is not renting (I'm pretty sure), but Kurt and I are planning on buying equipment.

    Had a great time. Sorry Yoda for the frisbee incident. Poor Mike had to chase all those overthrown frisbees.

    Good times! It was nice meeting all the veg-friendly folks. I woke up with aches in muscles long-neglected! More volleyball please!
