Sonoma County Support the Troops Rally - Saturday, June 24

Sonoma County Support the Troops ^

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

The Third Annual Sonoma County Support the Troops Rally will be held at Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa, California on Saturday, June 24th, 2006, from 10am - 2pm.

Our Third Annual Sonoma County Support the Troops Rally in Santa Rosa, California, will be even bigger and more exciting than last year's rally! We'll have special speakers such as KSFO’s Melanie Morgan and Brigadier General Joseph Schroedel, live musical entertainment from local bands, and the return of the "jumphouse" for the kids!

Other speakers will include Col. Louis “Pete” Peterka; Lt. Col. Steve Countouriotis; Deborah K. Johns, spokeswoman for Move America Forward; and Joseph Williams, Gold Star Father, who was part of the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" bus tour to Washington, D.C. Numerous informational booths will help you learn more ways to support our troops from Sonoma County. Last year we had over 300 supporters at our rally; this year we expect 500 or more.

Also, for the first time, Blood Bank of the Redwoods will send their mobile blood donation unit to the rally so we can all have the opportunity to give back to our community in a meaningful way.

We've been working hard on this for several months now (especially Elissa Wadleigh, our event founder and coordinator -- yay Elissa!) and if some of you Freepers turn up to join us, I think we'll break the 500 mark this year! (About 300 supporters came to the rally last year.) KSFO (local conservative AM radio station) has kindly given us some spots, but we need every warm body possible! Come out and show the troops and their families how much we appreciate them!

I'm going to try to make it but can't find "Old Courthouse Square" on Streets & Trips. Can you give me a street address and some idea where to find parking? Thanks much!

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Take a look at our web site, at http://www.SupportTheTroopsRally.com, under "Directions & Parking." There is detailed information there, including maps. Hope to see you there!

They are very good, have you heard them?

They also have a link to the Rally prominently displayed on their Home Page.

Melanie should be coming back from her Hawaii vacation... fact-finding mission all nice 'n' tan, dontchathink?

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Yes, I heard one of KSFO's spots just this morning during Rush's show! Very exciting. I did giggle a bit, though, since they took their verbiage directly from our press release, which in turn was taken from the stuff I wrote for our web site .... If I had known that chunk of verbiage was going to get such a workout, I would have spent more time on it! :)

BTTT

[Syncro]

True it was taken from the press release, but they did embellish on it a little. (OUR own Melanie Morgan...lol)

I just listened to it again; they sent it to me after they made it.

I thought it sounded great!

[Syncro]

Yes we will be back Friday. At the last minute, she recruited me to be her guide...LOL

an offer I couldn't refuse...

You all have a great time at your 3rd Annual Rally. You have a great line up of speakers.

Hope the weather cooperates with you. We'll all be looking for an After Action Report, with pics.

Sorry - thanks for the invite, and please keep them coming, but I'll be out of town (in NYC).

Every time one of these things come up lately I have a conflict!!!! Frustrating.

[Syncro]

Well that is just unacceptable. Teleport your self back for the 4 hour event. I don't think I have seen you since you brought this Great Poster to Sacramento back in the day.

Sorry you can't make it!

Are there any Freepers in the Healdsburg area?

[Syncro]

How close to Healdsburg? I go up there all the time with work.

Are you in Healdsburg?

There are a few FR people in the Sonoma County area.
