Last call to all freepers and lurkers in good standing to join us for a visit to the Reagan Library on Sunday, August 1st. Details of the day include:
1. Meeting for breakfast at the Marie Callendars in Simi Valley at 20 W. Cochran. We have a room reserved for 9:00 am to 10:30. Try to arrive by 8:30 or so and we can gather in the parking lot. We have a room large enough to accomodate 40 to 50 people.
2. Move to the Ronald Reagan Library immediately after breakfast. The library opens at 10:00, we will shoot for being there between 10:30 and 10:45 am. At that point, visitors can elect to go on a 1.5 hour optional tour. We will convene again at his gravesite at 12:30 or 1:00 for a short memorial service that is being scripted and lead by FReeper Hi Heels (who is a minister here in Ventura County); Doug from Upland will say a few words in regards to Ronald Reagan. We may have some live bagpipe music if everything goes according to plan and the stars are lined up.
3. After the service we will form a FReeper Convoy (try to put www.freerepublic.com signs in your card windows) and will motorcade over the Rabid Dog's house for an afternoon of bar-b-que and conservative fun!!
I'm encouraging people to bring at a couple six packs of their favorite beverages and a sack of ice. There is shopping center located just before Rabid Dog's house for your shopping convenience. Our local Ventura County FReepers will be providing side dishes, etc.
Our guest(s) of honor for the day will be Jim Robinson and family!!! The Reagan Library Trip and Bar-b-Que are one of the stops on their Pacific Coast Freedom Tour.
I'd suggest that we all try to remember to do something like wear red shirts but I know getting FReepers to do anything in an organized, remotely regimental fashion is a ridiculous notion so forget that I even mentioned it. But do try to put a sign in your window so we can do a little advertising for the Forces of Good while we are out and about.
Directions, addresses and phone numbers will be freepmailed to you in the next day or so!
Thanks for the reminder ping!
Ping re: Reagan Freeper Trip on Sunday
Hi, Just to confirm, 3 for the breakfast and Library. I won't be at the Bar-b-que, but it all sounds really nice.
Thanks for putting this together.
To late to throw my hat in the ring?
Sigh... It is nearly impossible to go anywhere for a long time like that when you have littl'uns. My baby needs a 3-hour nap IN HIS BED and my 7-year-old has to attend a birthday party at the same time. That takes two adults right there. Sigh. Middle of the day is just too hard to do.
How I wish we could join you all -- but we have to raise the next generation of FReepers right now! Thank you for all the organizing that went into this. And have a great time!!!
What kind of hat IS it?
hehe
Awwwwwwww.......shucks.
I think we could just bring the party TO YOUR HOUSE! Yeah! That's it! We'll all descend upon YOUR PLACE!!!!!
WHOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Seriously, Yaelle...ONE of these days you and I are gonna meet up. We all wish you could be there. But you're right about the little ones. THEY come first!!!
You know what - I had a kid that was the same way - and I kept to his nap schedule - damn the torpedos!
If this works out well - we'll just do it again!
I'm still thinking about it..........................................................................................................................................................................................well, OK!!!!!!!
WE STILL ON FOR SUNDAY???
sEE YOU TONIGHT AT COFFEE BEAN...
Great!
Where have you been buddy?
I have the name tags and markers. Will be at Marie C.'s at 8:30 in the parking lot.
Sounds like fun!!
