HOW TO FIND OUR GROUP:
Look for us at the indicated place in the Great Lawn. Note that we’ll have TWO RAINBOW UMBRELLAS set on the ground, as shown in the following photo.
The earlier you arrive, the easier it will be to find our group!
COST: Bring your own chair/blanket and picnic goodies; no cost beyond what you spend on your own food. Note that the Chicago Park District has a rule against alcoholic beverages on park grounds, but this is generally enforced only during “Taste of Chicago.” At worst, bottles or cans will be confiscated. Best to keep bottles and cans in paper bags. Preferably bring plastic glassware, as glass can be hazardous.
RSVP: Requested, so we can reserve enough blanket space. RSVP to gberstell@post.harvard.edu.
This event has been organized by: NUGALA’s Marc McClellan, HGLC’s Gerry Berstell, Yale GALA’s Mike Rosanova, and U of C’s Eric Rogers.
