No, I called the Reagan Library and they told me, “Call the Simi Valley Republican Women’s group. WE are not taking reservations.”
Did not find SVRWF from 4-1-1.
I’ve sent two emails to them; no response yet.
I’ve sent emails to the Republican group as well — for verification that this is actually happening, and have not had any response, either.
I’ve sent emails to the Republican group as well — for verification that this is actually happening, and have not had any response, either.I am fairly confident that it **is** going to happen -- but that the Simi Valley group were not expecting to get so much attention, having planned this event since LONG before Sarah Palin's recent surprise announcement -- so they are hunkering down, and keeping it as quiet as they can.
Since we believe that MANY people will want to support Sarah -- and for whatever reason cannot go to the dinner -- we are working on a way to help support Sarah ANY WAY that we can.For now, some of the best advance information that I have found is here, from www.venturacountystar.com:For now, the plan is to gather along the road at the entrance to the Reagan Library -- with AMERICAN FLAGS, and positive signs -- to show our support.
I plan to put up a thread tomorrow -- to solicit SIGN IDEAS, and post the most current information that I can find.
Palin expected at Simi GOP gala, group saysBy Michael R. Blood, AP political writer
Monday, July 13, 2009LOS ANGELES — Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is slated to appear at a Republican gala in Simi Valley next month as she moves to broaden her national influence after stepping down as Alaska governor.Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley said in a statement Sunday that Palin is scheduled to attend the group’s 50th anniversary gala at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Aug. 8.
The disclosure came the same day that an interview published in The Washington Times revealed that Palin plans to write a book, build a right-of-center coalition and campaign for political candidates from coast to coast with even Democrats who share her views on limited government, national defense and energy independence.
The details were the first to emerge since the Alaska governor announced earlier this month that she plans to resign July 26, a decision that shocked even her closest friends. At that time, she expressed concern over being a lame-duck governor as well as criticism aimed at her and her family.
Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley spokeswoman Pat Saraceno said the invitation-only event will be closed to the media. Several hundred people have already confirmed they plan to attend the gala, which costs $100 for members and $150 for invited nonmembers.
The group expects no more than 900 people at the event, which will be held at the cavernous pavilion that houses the former president’s jet, Air Force One.
The master of ceremonies for the event will be conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler.
Reagan library spokeswoman Melissa Giller said the group rented the facility and it was up to members to decide who would be invited.
Saraceno said Palin “embodies the values that we hold dear: faith, family, country first and service.”
“We are honored to call her our friend and advocate,” she said. “She is an amazing human being whose aspirations are simply to bring out the best in people.”
Saraceno said the women’s group reached out to Palin through her office and invited her to the event in February.
“We are not interested in making this a political event, but we would be honored if she could make an appearance,” Saraceno said. “There are some common threads. She has family roots in Southern California. Also, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is a lasting tribute to Reagan, and she is, in our minds, quite Reaganesque in her approach to policy.”
Saraceno said the organization is not paying Palin for her appearance, but it will pay for her trip, dinner and accommodations.
The Alaska governor’s office did not respond to e-mail or phone messages.
The appearance at the library that enshrines the legacy of the nation’s 40th president is certain to stoke speculation about Palin’s political ambitions beyond Alaska.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who led the 2008 Republican presidential ticket, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he is confident Palin will remain “a major factor” on the national scene even after she steps down as governor.
Earlier this year, Palin was offered a speaking role at an annual congressional fundraiser in Washington, which turned into a will-she-or-won’t-she mystery about whether the Alaska governor would even appear. Organizers replaced Palin as the keynote speaker after she wavered over accepting the invitation, and Palin said she never confirmed that she would speak. The governor eventually appeared at the dinner but did not address the crowd.
Saraceno said she respected Palin’s right to change her plans at any time. She said in an e-mail that correspondence with the governor’s office has been “positive but cautious,” but she added, “we know she will come.”

Keep me in the loop because I will be as close as possible with a sign.
And, I might to some of this by FREEP-MAIL -- to keep our EXACT plans secret from DU-disruptors.
I understand this is a “By Invitation Only” event....can you confirm ?? Thanks
I understand this is a “By Invitation Only” event....can you confirm ?? ThanksYeah, I'm still working on THAT part.
Worst case, if we cannot get "invited" INSIDE, we will gather OUTSIDE.
It's CHEAPER that way, too!We won't get to SEE her that way, but we at least will be able to SUPPORT her.We can cheer her motorcade going in -- and get her some good MEDIA COVERAGE -- since they will apparently excluded inside, too...
...and then stop off a a local restaurant for OUR dinner...
...and still be back to cheer her when she leaves!
Thanks, Rondog.....but if you can get a few “Freeper Only” tickets allocated count me in.....I’d be coming in from the east coast and sure would like to meet her after making that trip( just like all of us, I’m sure)......my freeper buddy Al B is also working on it......keep us posted.
