Details
Hello MATS members and friends.
Your MATS Board is now planning a picnic (with an optional hike or bike ride), at the Palos/Sag Valley Forest Preserve (Swallow Cliff groves).
Save the date of Sunday, May 18th, for a forest preserve picnic with your MATS friends!
Please change your RSVP if necessary to make room for those who couldn't RSVP " Yes " when closed.
We are looking at a 10:00-10:30 start for whoever wants to bike ride and hike, 12:00 to 12:30 start for the grilling and food prep. Arrive early and play volleyball and meet others. We have secured a sheltered picnic grove, and will enjoy a BBQ, volleyball, Frisbee, and anything else (legal) that we want to take on!
If you will be biking, please bring a bike suitable for pea-gravel trails. Let Dave know if you need a bike. A helmet and waiver is also required to ride with the group.
And the best part? This event and the BBQ will be FREE to paid MATS members, and we welcome guests for $5. MATS will provide the grills, meats, water and non-alcoholic beverages. Any alcoholic beverages are BYOB.
Our more creative members are encouraged to bring a sample of their favorite sides/desserts. 
Your participation will help make this event a success!!.
Hope to see you
The 2008 MATS board of organizers

I signed up for the hike at Waterfall Glen yesterday, but I was a little late, and didn't know how I'd find anyone because I am new to the group. I cannot wait to try again!
