I haven't posted in a very long time and I hope the pictures post correctly. The Convention was held in Orlando at the Gaylord Palms. It was a fun, informative event and nice to put a face to all the Freepers. Our thanks go out to ROOS_Girl, MinuteGal, and seekthetruth for organizing the event. Thanks to Surfer for moderating...what a great job he did. Special thanks to all the speakers who shared their knowledge with all of us. Please share your comments about the event.

Southeast Regional Convention After Action Report Ping

[surfer]

What a great meeting we had! There was so much good information that we all learned and we have picked up a lot of new “tasks” to do here in Florida.

Thanks for everyone attending and thanks to our speakers who ALL did a fantastic job and as always we learn about the capabilities we have right within our group.

Now we need to continue the momentum, organize all of these talents and keep working to make a difference for our country.

JimRob called in during the meeting and it was really wonderful for everyone to hear JimRob talk to all of us.

Pix #'s 1, 2, 4, and 5 show our two guest speakers, Andrea King and Kristinn. #13 is Surfer who moderated the meetings. All did a terrific job.

Thanks also to committee member Bob Ireland who did loads of the visual arts and informative comments on the convention thread. Also to The Right Stuff who pitched in when and where needed and who had another job which was quite delightful, LOL, manning the refreshment center in the meeting room!

Picture 18 is guest speaker Rockingham, giving his presentation on Opposition Research. What a wealth of information we have within the Florida chapter!

LOL! Thanks for the AM smile.

Thanks to all who made the convention a success. I enjoyed meeting FReepers whom I have talked with over the years, but have not put a face with a moniker. FReepers are just down right good people who are well informed, and active in our country's future.

We have got to keep the momentum going. Like Kristinn said, we as a group should have been organizing the tea parties. We all love a good FReep. Whether saving an election, impeaching a president, or firing a lamestream media anchor, all of it affects the body politic.

A great time was had by all. The speakers were informative, humorous and just plain down to earth. I have one confession to make, and that is I visited the buffet three time. It was so good.

Oh, and gonzo was caught sleeping in that pick. Can't take him anywhere.

We wish you could have been here too! I hope to meet you some day! Guess when I joined FR you were already out west so I was allowed to keep my screen name. It was after I joined that I heard about you being a Florida Freeper and also found out we also share first names! :)

“I saw a guy with the glasses on when I was at the front desk, he was with a younger guy”

Yes, the gentleman witht he glasses is Rockingham who gave us a lot of great information. Perhaps he was with Surfer when you saw him at the front desk.

I was sorry to hear that you and TrueKnightGalahad were unable to find us following the meeting. We left messages at the front desk to aid Freepers in finding us and sorry to hear you two did not receive the information. We will do better next time to make sure that does not happen! Jean

“Not to mention the hard work of seek the truth!”

Thanks so much, TheRightStuff! I hope to see EVERY Florida Freeper signed on to our FreeRepublic State Forum within FR. My goal to to make sure that happens so we can be effective in getting information out to every Freeper in Florida concerning local and state issues. We need to share information within our state in order to be effective in upcoming elections. :)

From time to time I will be sending information out to all the Florida Freepers on my list through Freepmail. Please let me know if you wish to be removed from my list through Freepmail.

The information I provided to everyone who attended the Convention will be going out soon to all Florida Freepers on my list through Freepmail. :) Jean from St.Pete

“Oh, and gonzo was caught sleeping in that pick. Can't take him anywhere.”

Gonzo was just resting his eyes! Hubby & I along with others know, as he was sure not sleepy at 1:30AM! We know one thing for sure....next time Gonzo and BushBacker will bring their guitars! We Freepers know how to sing too!!:)

***Gonzo, MinuteGal, MatchettPI...***

I almost thot I was also there... but you know how it is when you get older... Howdy!

[brytlea]

Thank you for sharing the photos, since I wasn’t able to attend. :)

[prismsinc]

I had a smoke and chat with Gonzo. I would’ve been out there with him, but I too, had to go back to the room and nap!

There's a link at the top left of your "latest posts" page which says "FReeper Convention". It is now updated. It's now the link to the new post-convention thread with photos!

Bookmark this page so you can read the cogent comments and see the handsome and gorgeous freepers at work and at play.

Conventioneers, please post some of your pics. Please vet them first in a considerate way so that no one is embarassed seeing themselves with their eyes crossed or with their finger in their, umm.....ear, if you get my drift.
