Make sure to check out our ongoing thread for updates about the Regional Convention being held in Orlando on April 25. The convention will be at the spectacular Gaylord Palms hotel and we've gotten a group rate of just $99/night on guest rooms. Updated information will be posted Monday on how to make your reservations.

“I will try to head over for the day. I was waiting to hear on a soccer tournament. Hubbys in Iraq so if I can pawn the kids off Ill be there. Ill know more later this week or early next!”
Hi GatorGirl! Sure looking forward to meeting you, and God Bless you and your hubby for your service to our country! Sure hope you can make it, even if only for part of the day! :)
Bless your hubby in Iraq....if you come to our convention, you can tell him all about it later......and about the freeper folks who LUV our service people in Iraq!

We’ll be there! C’mon FL Freepers! Belly up!
Whatta guy! He has opined the prize to be "a Spotted Hog Piggy Bank".
Great guess.....I think, hmmm. Anyhow, to analyze his stab at identifying the prize:
Clue # 1 - "Whoever wins the prize will love it!" (Hubby correct on this. Freepers love saving money, via piggy bank or regular bank)
Clue # 2 - "It's about the size of a breadbox" (Hubby correct on this, also. The prize IS the size of a breadbox-sized piglet!)
Clue # 3 - "It's something Obama would hate (Hubby correct on this, too, by golly. Piggys are pork)
Clue # 3 - "Of animal, vegetable or mineral, the prize is animal.....and is covered with spots". (Hubby correct on this, also. I peeked into its enclosure last night, and the prize is still covered with spots. And a piggy IS animal.
However, despite the terrific deductive reasoning and great guess.... no cigar. Hubby unfortunately didn't come close, sigh.
Looks like I may be forced into revealing another clue this coming weekend.
By the way, there's ANOTHER donated prize for anyone who guesses the correct answer before the contest closes a week from today....or comes reasonably close. Prizes will be awarded during one of our convention meetings....and the revealing will be great fun. Only those registered for a room are eligible as this is an incentive "contest". We have to have a minimum number of rooms reserved and paid for in order to qualify for certain perks for our meetings from the hotel.
Thanks for playing, dear hubby of Seek the Truth.
Spotted Hog Piggy Bank was an excellent guess.....I think. Hmmm.
Try, try again, don't be sty.....er, shy!

Hi, I can make it for the Saturday function.
Happy to hear you will be able to join us. Looking forward to meeting you! :)
ALSO: I booked a room for both nites! Now, instead of driving back and forth two or three times, I can carouse endlessly with other degenerate extremists! hee hee [so far my son Quentin figures to be attending also. (that's Q-U-E-N-T-I-N... NOT Clinton)]
Remember that tomorrow is the last day to book your room and get our fantastic group rate; only $99/night. If you haven’t booked already and intend on staying overnight you best get on the ball!
