California Freepers, Anyone Else Who is Interested (Reagan Related Plans)

As you are all aware, President Ronald Wilson Reagan has passed away.  He is now at rest, after a decade long struggle.  I'm sure many of you will join me in wanting to participate in a vigil or the attendence of the funeral.

Although plans are not firm yet, we will be taking part in several activities over the next four or five days.  If you would like to be kept informed of these events, please respond on this thread.

I will be sending out notices of plans as they develop.

We're in Reagan's home state.  Let's represent Free Republic and the Free Republic Network well, for those who cannot travel here from the midwest or the east.

Thank you.


Cordially;

From what I understand, they are bringing the president's body to the library tomorrow. We are going to go anyway, my 11 year old and me, to pay homage. Thursday he will be brought back and buried. I am supposed to be working in Simi later that day anyway at a school picnic.

Until www.reaganvigil.com goes live late tonight or early tomorrow, here is a link to the website to organize candlelight vigils in hometowns across America and internationally.

We put it together in a hurry, so please forgive its lack of slick appeal, but it should get the job done.

Send it out to everyone you know, every list you've got so that folks can get together and start organizing vigils!

And if you are in Washington DC Sunday night, come by Lafayette Park across the street from the White House at 6 PM.

Let's get this together for the Gipper!

The local news channel, kcal9, gave a great tribute to Ronald Reagan and also gave the following website to send messages to the Reagan family:

Thanks D1. Great idea. I think we all feel as though we want to do something this week to honor this great man -- as much for us, as for him and his family. Keep me informed. If there's something planned in Simi Valley Wednesday or Thursday, I'd like to be there.

My daughter's high school had their prom at the Reagan Library last week. I understand another school had its' prom scheduled for tonight. I hope the kids, many of which were born in the final year or two of the Reagan Presidency, understand if they are rescheduled.
