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!
Just in case you didn't already count me I'll be at the Library for the ceremony and at your place for the bbq.
No breakfast or tour.
No red shirt.
See you there with something identifiable. Freeper headgear?
Thanks!!!
I'll call.....NOW!
Hey! Anyone? I am searching for the cartoon of Reagan on horseback going through the Berlin wall. Can someone please please post it?
Got it.....thanks!
Maybe you can do your Saturday service? I think it's kind of Rabid Dog to organize this. It is very hard to get a group like this together.
There is a Hampton Inn and COurtyard by Marriott in Camarillo (where I live). They also have Motel 6, Days Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. Can't wait to meet you all!
Thanks! I have reservations for the Motel 6 on Erringer Rd.....do you know if that's an OK area??
And Grande Vista is fairly close to the Library...
We don't have a Saturday service. But I do hope you all have fun. Perhaps you all can spend a few moments worshipping the Creator together. I'm sure the Gipper would have liked that.
Change in our plans.
Can't make breakfast.
Will make tour and BQ.
Will bring pasta salad on ice in cooler.
Adding one more adult for total of three from OC.
Let me know if there is anything in particular you want us to bring for the BBQ.
Here ya go!
Believe me, the Almighty will be pleased.
All of Simi is safe, and Motel 6 is in the heart of town. It'll be fine.
Saint Rose of Lima. Sat. eve mass is at 5:30PM. They are on Royal between First and Erringer. From 118, to Erringer. Go South to Royal. West on Royal. Church is on right hand side a couple of blocks down.
Captain PBear says he'd like to play 'O Sanctissima' for the second hymn.
*curtsies* Thank you! :) See you Sunday.
