The Society will be providing grilled brats and hotdogs, buns, table service and bottled water. The rest of the picnic will be a potluck and everyone is asked to bring their favorite dish to share such as a fruit, vegetable, side dish and/or dessert.  You are welcome to bring your own drink and lawn chair.

Dixon Springs State Park is one of several state parks in the Illinois Shawnee Hills. The park is situated on a giant block of sandstone deposited 315 million years ago, which was dropped 500 feet along a fault line that extends northwesterly across Pope County. The resulting rocky scenery gives visitors the chance to explore breathtaking canyons and waterfalls.

For the meeting, there will be reports from various board members about the accomplishments from the past year and possible future projects. During the business meeting, the Society will also be electing Society officers and board members for the next year. Following the business meeting, the Society has planned a speaker. Dixon Springs State Park has many trails to explore after the event.

Please, come join us, learn what being an officer or board member might entail. Bring a friend, or significant other. Enjoy a meal!
