Montrose Beach Potluck and Volleyball

This is a continuation of the June and July events... and may be the last of the summer ... don't miss it! laughing

LOCATION:


  • Montrose Beach on Lake Michigan. We will meet at the same place as June and July, a grass area south of the boathouse [which is located on the east side N. Simmons Drive, between Wilson and Montrose.
  • Map to exact location: http://files.meetup.c...
  • Look for the "ChicagoVeg" sign.
  • Mike will be wearing a a white "Doo Rag" with black trim.

TIMING:


  • 11 AM - Volleyball starts. Don't worry if you are "not good"- we play just for fun. If you have difficulties to find our volleyball court please check with picnic organizers or other members at the picnic.
  • 12PM / Noon - We will start our potluck (If you will not arrive til then, that is fine, but let us know when RSVP) There is no guaranty that we will not start sampling before!
  • 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...
  • Bike: Riding your bike is a good option. Remember, you can usually bring bikes on Chicagoland public transportation.

WHAT WE WILL SUPPLY:


  • 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!

CONTACT: Please use "Talk about this Meetup" area in the bottom of the event page to offer/ask rides and post any questions or comments. For the last minute issues (i.e. you can not find us) you can try to call Mike at [masked].

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.

    I believe that Dog Day on the Green is going on in the same area on this day, so expect a crowd!
