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!
If you weren't pinged to this list, you aren't on the radar screen! Let me know if you will be joining us so I can put you on the various headcount books (breakfast, Library, Bar-B-Que).
Thanks!
On our way. In a day or two that is. Trying to round up a few others.
Please put me on the ping list. After I check with mama I'll let you know if we can come.
You should have scheduled this for a time other than when most of us are worshipping the creator. I would like to have met you all for this, but not to replace the time of worship.
Thank you Rabid Dog for and all other FReepers for working so hard on this trip. We won't be able to make it as we are hosting people in Lake Arrowhead that weekend.
Thanks again.
Dio and I checking in Captain!
I highly doubt our creator would mind the scheduled events.
For certain, traveling with Doodlelady in her
mighty fine SUV will be SCP; Wolfstar; onyx; and
we're begging Hildy to join us.
Can you add me to the ping list for this event even though I am a New Yorkite : ) I so wish I could make this one but sadly so many miles keep us apart.
Gosh, I'm not saying 100% no today, but I just was up there two weeks ago! The only reason I'd go is to spend the day with you guys so let me think about it.
Excellent job Rabid Dog. Sandy and I are looking forward to this.
See you on Sunday.
Had a comment that red is a cult color - I figured red is for Republican. I'll also be wearing my Bush-Cheney regalia!
Also, ladies and men, don't wear high heels - my property isn't conducive to fancy-schmancy attire. It's a jeans and t-shirt kind of place. We have a couple of acres - its a mini-ranch. Good access though for those that aren't real mobile. And when you come - park in the orchard and let those that need to park close to the house.
Don't forget to bring the banners! I'm right along a busy road and we can hang them on my split rail fences. Will really p*ss my liberal neighbors off (I just had a Bush party this weekend with lots of Bush signs on the road). If you and Dio are up to it come to my house early, drop the banners off, and then you can ride with me over to Simi Valley for breakfast, etc.
She's thinking about it... I am smiling!
Certainly, and welcome to FreeRepublic!!
Great!
I plan to be there.
Ping! (nag, nag)
