Need Volunteers For FR Table At Orlando Tea Party

February 28, 2009

Hey y'all,

We've been offered a chance to set up a Free Republic table at the Orlando Tea Pary that's being held on March 21. I think it's a fantastic opportunity to spread the word about Free Republic and recruit like-minded people that are local to us.

It would be great to have some kind of banner or sign and maybe cards or some other type of literature to hand out to people. Plus we'll need some volunteers to man the table to talk with people that want more info about what FR is.

Anyone interested in helping get this set up and manned? I'd like to remind everyone that I *might* not be able to attend so someone besides me that can keep things organized at the event in case I'm not able to make it would be great.

By the way, a little bird told me that Kristinn would be joining us at the event.

Where and When is the ORLANDO TEA PARTY?

I want to dump some Earl Obama Tea!

Count me in..Can I suggest that we also need a place, a spot, nearby..anything from a local watering hole to a McDonalds parking lot, which can serve as HQ for Freepers...

I think mcmuffin used to keep the banner... hopefully he will see this ping. IR

[mcmuffin]

Hey Bob!
I don’t have the banner. My guess is that Janice or TigerBill may have it. I’ll give Bill a call later this week if no one else finds it.
Perhaps Gonzo may have it?

[mcmuffin]

Hey Bob!
TigerBill contacted me and reported the banner was damaged by wind at a FR event.
FRegards,
Dave

Is it fixable or is it gone and we need another one?

[Roos_Girl]

I was asking if the damaged banner was fixable or if we need to get another one?

Also, if we need another one do we have the design of the old one that can be taken to a shop or do we have to come up with a new design?

This is going to be FUN!

[Bob Ireland]

Perhaps the banner could be temporarily repaired for this occasion by using clear packaging tape... a sloppy choice, but for this pressing event... ? or, alternatively, where did we get the original banner? IR

Here's some history from Tallahassee including the banner:

Ah, yes, I remember it well. I'm the hat lady with the red, white and blue jacket in the top pic. I think that's Gonzo next to me, and Bob Ireland next to him. The tall dude on the left may be McMuffin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That was quite a freepin' day!
