Please join us for the August 1 FReeper visit to the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. We are going to be meeting for breakfast in Simi Valley at 8:30 am. The location will be decided upon once we get a better idea of our headcount. We'll will then head over to the library to visit the facility and pay our respects to President Reagan. And then over to Rabid Dog's house for an afternoon of conservative debauchery and Bar-b-que.
Today's thread includes the following four questions/considerations:
1. There is a modest admission fee of $5.00 to $7.00 depending upon the age and wisdom of the attendee. This fee also include the cost of a 1.5 hour optional tour. How many of you are interested in the tour? I want to give them a heads up so they can line up the docents. We will be broken down into groups of 12 to 15 people. The tour is optional and not everyone has to participate.
2. If you are coming from out of town, please indicate so and if you are interested in carpooling, please let us know so that interested FReepers can freepmail you to coordinate.
3. If you are on the fence about going on the trip, please ask to be put on the ping list anyway. I'll be doing a final headcount in a couple of weeks.
4. If you can't go, but would like to have a note placed at President Reagan's gravesite, please Freepmail me and I will give you my address.
Can you work with Doug from Upland?
I wrote on the first thread that we can't get away until the fall and asked if there would be any Reagan Library visits planned for later. Hope you will let me know. barset
I don't know - maybe a celebratory one after President Bush's relection?
That would be so great. Thank you. b.
Ping
"Flowers of the Forest" is a lament, and would be very appropriate.
Count me in for breakfast and the tour.
He knows that one!
Great! It makes me weepier than "Amazing Grace" any day.
You can hear a midi version of it at http://www.liverpoolscottish.org.uk/pipeduty.htm - about halfway down the page.
Don't count us in for breakfast just yet.
May have to meet you all at the Library.
1. Yes to the tour for 3 adults
Hope the bagpiper is approved as I have a special request.
I think Hi Heels and Doug from Upland are going to be coordinating the FReeper service so touch base with them. Hopefully, we will also have some bagpipes!
I'll be putting up another thread in a couple of days to finalize the headcount.
I'm not coordinating. I'm just speaking.
Coordinator here! All speakers are welcome. I also have contributions from other members of FR to be read. Shaping up to be a great service.
I don't want to speak, however, I will.
Sounds to me that you have it covered. You can call on me only if you need to.
Bump to information about August 1st Freeper Field Trip to Reagan Library.
