ChicagoVeg» Chicagoland Vegetarian-Vegan-RawFood Community

This is a continuation of the very successful events from the past 8 summers. LOCATION: • Montrose Beach on Lake Michigan (PLEASE see the map above) We will meet at a grass area SOUTH of the beach house - located on the east side N. Simmons Drive, between Wilson and Montrose. If you see the big antenna and/or the big white building, just go a little SOUTH and you will find us! • See the picture of maps above (not the map provided by Meetup) or a better picture here: http://chicagoveg.com/potluck.htm • Look for the "ChicagoVeg" sign TIMING: • Noon - 1:30 PM - Arrive, socialize, frisbee (introductions and start eating around 12:30PM) • About 1:30PM - Volleyball begins. TRANSPORTATION: • Driving: There is a lot of parking by Montrose Beach, however some of the closer parking may fill up quickly, which is one of the reasons to arrive before noon :) • Public transportation: Several CTA buses stop at Montrose Beach, although it may be a bit of a walk to the picnic (< 1 mile). For more info: tripsweb.rtachicago.com (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 and net • Drinking water • 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.meetup.com/ChicagoVeg/pages/Potluck_Rules. You are welcome to check out Recipes of the meals at our potlucks: http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoVeg/boards/thread/7521957 where people shared some recipes from our previous potlucks. • Please use Comment section on the event page to let others know what you plan to bring. • Please check what other people will bring and specify what dish you plan to bring as you RSVP so all of us won't bring a potato salad! • Although we will supply them, we encourage you to bring your own plates/bowls/cups/utensils (to be more eco-friendly) • The expectation to have a great time!
