Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for joining us at The Orlando Tea Party! We are very excited about the tremendous response we've had. I wanted to give everyone a quick hello and give you an idea of what to expect the day of the Tea Party. We appreciate you taking the time to help us give the public a positive direction to direct their passion and an opportunity to join with worthy organizations prepared to take immediate action against the disturbing direction our current administration is taking us.
We would like to have information tables set up between 10 and 11am, as we expect people to begin arriving pretty early and we'd love for them to have a chance to check you all out before it gets too crowded. You can feel free to arrive as early as you like though. Due to space limitations, we ask that you only bring one table. We expect people to begin arriving several hours before the event, we actually are expecting at least two buses, so I imagine they will be arriving early. We will have an information table along Robinson Av. behind the rows of blue amphitheater seating (this is the main entrance of the amphitheater area.) It will have red, white and blue balloons. Please just check in there and I will direct you to the booth area. You will need to bring your own tables and chairs. You can always look for a person wearing a "Crew" badge if you have questions or go up to the information table.
The speakers will begin at 12pm and will continue until about 2pm. You can see a a list of our speakers and their topics on the Event page of our web site. We hope to have everyone pumped up by the end of the presentation and will ask them to visit your booths and to find one they feel passionate about and join with them today! Our goal is to get everyone energized to take the fight back home and continue to be vocal until things change in Washington. We simply can not afford to be complacent any longer.
I just heard on our local talk radio in Fort Walton Beach that a tea party is being planned for early May.
I’ve been disappointed that I would not be able to come since I work on Saturdays, but due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, I took a vacation week this week and will be able to attend. Just don’t ask me to do any heavy lifting, I have a fractured rib, among other injuries.
I’ll make every effort to be there, though, and look forward to seeing you and the other freepers. I don’t have any signs or shirts, but I can bring a camera to record the event and our table. I’m a pretty accomplished photographer with over 35 years in the industry, so I know what I’m doing.
Thanks for the update, RoosGirl! Hubby and I will be there by 9:30. Do hope Freeper fidget2009 can bring an 8’table for us. :)
