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.rtachicago.com/
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.org/pages/Potluck_Rules)
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!

I believe that Dog Day on the Green is going on in the same area on this day, so expect a crowd!
I agree with Kurt... let's play again before the summer's gone!
One More Time!
Yes, please, lets try to have another one because the traffic and parking gods wouldn't let me attend this last one! grrr... It will take me weeks to eat my dish by myself! LOL! Sept should still be warm enough to have one more!
