For many years, the
Shawnee Group of the Sierra Club has been welcoming the New Year with
a Stone Soup picnic at shelter 2 in Giant City State Park on January
1. Now this annual tradition is at risk! We need a new team of
picnic planners who will step up to carry on this unique event. We
have a checklist to assist in planning and setting up. We just need
a few motivated volunteers to ensure that we can celebrate January 1,
2016 in style!</div>

Professor Karen Midden of SIU organized the project to
