Those who want to attend the dinner should plan on paying for their own meals, as well as being asked to contribute an extra couple of dollars to cover the Robinson family dinners.

We cannot make reservations on a Saturday night, and therefore, please do your best to arrive before 4:30 pm so we have a better chance of being able to sit together. I will be there by 4 pm.

Olive Garden?

sounds nice but

Why not rent a giant banquet hall and invite all Freepers? Oh wait, we're not liberals who can get government or a foundation to pay for things.

I hope you guys enjoy.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much. We're looking forward to some exciting events in San Diego. It's not every day that you get to welcome a new carrier to its homeport. And a carrier named in honor of one of our greatest presidents ever! And I'm honored to be invited to dinner with our San Diego Chapter.

By the way, San Diego was also the homeport of one of the destroyers I served on, so It'll be like a homecoming for me too. Though that was 35 years ago. How the time flies. LOL

[CyberAnt]

You're so welcome, Jim. I'm sure we'll have a rousing crowd to celebrate your return to San Diego.

I'm still waiting for the remaining information regarding the voter registration on Friday. I hope to post that thread tomorrow.

When I talked to KUSI, they said they were informed to have their TV crews in place by 10 a.m. However, KUSI says it will begin coverage at 5:30 a.m. They may have somebody onboard .. they didn't tell me.

I plan to be there, for sure! Right in my regular stomping grounds.

[Hildy]

I'll be there!

'Looking so forward to meeting you all.
Hope everyone can make it.

Wonder if there will be other visiting FReepers here for the weekend? 'Would be so nice.

[b9]

Yay! 'Can't wait to meet you!

The 925 mile distance to San Diego is a bit of an impediment to a casual dinner activity. I would love to join you at the dinner. I will be visiting my mom and my son the weekend of July 30th -> August 1. Arriving in town on Friday afternoon in "drive time" traffic will be a good reminder of why I moved to Idaho :-)

Want to do some added driving or riding?
We're going to RWR Library on August 1st.

Besides the dinner, we're working on a voter registration booth for the USS Ronald Reagan arrival on Friday. I'll ping you when the thread is up .. just in case any of you are interested.
