SAN DIEGO CHAPTER - DINNER - AFTER ACTION REPORT
San Diego Chapter of FreeRepublic | 7-24-04 | CyberAnt

Posted on 07/24/2004 9:49:40 PM PDT by CyberAnt

The San Diego Chapter held a special dinner to honor Jim Robinson.

We arrived early at the restaurant only to discover it might be an hour before we could have dinner. The restaurant herded us (22) into the bar so we wouldn't take up their whole lobby, and we all chatted and got acquainted; some imbibed in their favorite beverage.

While we were in the bar, a classy looking guy and his wife walked into the bar. He looked so familiar to me .. and all of a sudden somebody said his name .. and WOW! it was Joseph Perkins who writes a column for the San Diego Union Tribune. Joseph is a BLACK CONSERVATIVE. I love his columns and try to send him emails of applause whenever I read one I especially agree with. His advice: don't believe the dems when they say the country is 50-50. It's more like 60-40 AND THE CONSERVATIVES ARE AHEAD. I'm hoping this encourter with FReepers will give us some good local press. I plan on sending Joseph some information about us, as well as notify him of any FREEPS we do in the future.

It was great meeting everyone after having talked to them on the internet for eons. And .. it was equally great meeting new people.

The participants in the dinner were as follows:

Jim Robinson (plus Mrs. & son), CyberAnt, Doodlelady, onyx, Hildy, Travis McGee, Hollywood, eleb, sd-joe (and Mrs.), SoCalPol, doug from upland (and Mrs.), Brads Gramma (and Mr.), Texican (and Mrs.), Norman Arbuthnot, Warrant (and Mrs.)

I've probably left somebody out .. and if so you have my permission to FReepmail me and properly chew me out.

We took lots and lots of pictures. We have appointed Hildy to be the official picture poster. We will all be sending her our pictures, and she will be posting them within the next few days.

As a chapter, we have taken on a couple of projects. In August I will be meeting with a local RNC person who will be setting us up to do voter registration. San Diego County is still "Bush Country", and I intend to keep it that way.

The second project we are working on is what I will call a "Truth Sheet". A few days ago there was a thread about how to defend Bush in 5 words or less. I have taken that thread and distributed copies to members of the chapter. We will all be going through the list of 32 items and changing or expanding the answers (10 words or less).

As soon as we have compiled a good working list, I will be posting the thread so everyone can make a copy of the list. This will allow us to have ready answers to the standard mantras from the left .. such as #1 - "Bush is stupid" - my reply is: President Bush has an MBA from Harvard. We may ultimately end up with a different answer, or maybe I will post several answers .. if they are especially good .. and I have a feeling they will be.

My personal thanks go to doodlelady and onyx who were so helpful in contacting the restaurant and making all the arrangements, as well as keeping track of the attendees. You did a great job!!

Okay everybody who attended the dinner .. put in your 2 cents.

Fabulous photos! Interesting that a younger Tom Selleck had time to attend your dinner. LOL! You took a beautiful picture of Travis, along with all the other great photos.

majesty and "help" him get the MS FR chapter organized.
LOL! Ya think? Oh yes, he's game for that. I have
already asked.

Grin...although I'm hitching a ride with the San Diego contingent, I'm from the South Bay area of L.A. — but I'd really rather be from Catalina Island.

I cannot believe this.
You working.
I am stunned.
BTW, I spent so much time here yesterday
(hiding from company) that my shoulder hurts.
I will NOT be here that long today.
Guaranteed.

That was SO nice, wasn't it? I really enjoyed meeting you, too.

Are you going to the Reagan Library this weekend? Did you know about it? Did I now get you in trouble? Is WARRANT now in trouble? Oh oh.......

Ha!

We would love to see the Library and all of you again! However, we're spending the weekend with our Grandson, who's driving down from Huntington Bch. If we went, then he'd spend the whole weekend in a car! Please keep us informed of future events:-)

Being rather partial to grandsons.....I can appreciate your wanting to spend time with yours!!!

Why don't one of you write RonDog and ask if he has a ping list for the CA stuff?
