Op Infinite FReep: Fresno/Central Valley Tailgate Party and Rally (thread III)

Fresno/Central Valley Chapter ^ | 06/18/02 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

For a really "grate" time, join us for our big Friday night Support our Troops Rally followed by a Saturday Tailgate Party and pot-luck barbeque at Woodward Park in Fresno on July 12th and 13th. We're hoping that as many of our California FReepers as possible can join us and perhaps some from further away. Come to California, the land of milk & honey and fruits & nuts, rally, and party with us, then stay a few days to visit Yosemite or Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. Bring the whole family.

We have reserved tables at the Sunset View Picnic Shelter (see arrow on map below) from 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. We will begin arriving at around 2:00 p.m. The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive off Freeway 41 at Friant Road.

The park road is one way so after paying the $2.00 entry fee, follow the road all the way around the park until you see "Sunset View Picnic Shelter." We will have a "Free Republic Tailgate Rally" sign at the entrance to our site.

1. Anyone who will need a room and wants us to check on a block of rooms, please notify JustAmy.

2. Mama_Bear is maintaining the guest list. Please let her know how many will be attending with you.

3. Cool Guy is planning activities for Saturday. Also he will be taking a survey to see who is interested in a Sunday trip to Yosemite.

4. JustAmy will be coordinating the menu. Fresno Chapter will supply the main dish, the drinks (sorry no alcohol) and the paper products. Anyone wishing to chip in to help cover the costs, FReepmail JustAmy. Local area FReepers can bring salads, side dishes, etc., if you wish. JKPhoto volunteered to be the barbequer-in-chief (he was too slow to take a step backwards).

5. Dress will be summer (hot!) casual.

6. Ping your friends and lets have a party!

7. Anything we have forgotten, please contact us.

8. Since we will not be able to get our tables until 3:00, Cool Guy suggests a change of clothes (he is planning water games!)

Please RSVP by FReepmail to JustAmy, Mama_Bear, or CoolGuy

Hope to see you there!

Thank you,

Jim Robinson

Okie dokie, I will put you on the "probably/possibly" list. Hope you can come.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Hopefully I can make it. (So, I guess I'm a "maybe" at the moment.)

How about a little PEER PRESSURE?

GO...GO...GO...GO...GO...GO...GO...

[ladyinred]

I think I already RSVP'ed a while back Mama _Bear, but in case I didn't, Chadsworth and I are coming. I am trying to get Clovis_Skeptic (he is my bubba) to say yes too!

[ladyinred]

BTW: anyone needing a place to stay can freepmail me, we do have an extra room.

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, I have you and Chadsworth on the yes list. :-)
Should I add Clovis_Skeptic to the maybe list?

.........

[Mama_Bear]

How about you Oregon folks, can either of you make it?
We sure hope you can come - would love to meet you both. :-)

FReepin' picnic ping! : )

[JustAmy]

What happened to the reply option? Until Gateway sends me a new keyboard I cannot copy and paste with the control key so this is tough.

So all of you on my ping list, don't ignore me!!
Please. :^)

"How about you Oregon folks"

I really wish I could.
However my duties with the Coast Guard Auxiliary are needed here.
There are only 2 of us in the Auxiliary that are qualified to stand radio watches on the base.
If you saw just how short handed the crew at the base is you'd understand why I am needed here.

Don't know what is going on. Right in the middle of posting a reply a new window came up telling me I was an anonymous member of the forum or something. LOL!

Looks like John is fiddling with FR tonight.

[Saundra Duffy]

Lager and I are coming and bringing macaroni salad. Say, FReepers can crash at our place provided they're not expecting anything fancy. Bring a sleeping bag and pillow or pitch a tent in the back yard. This sounds like a blast. I'll take Friday afternoon off work! Yahoo! For victory & freedom!!!

[JustAmy]

Have you been pinged yet? We would like to see you in July!

So all of you on my ping list, don't ignore me!!
Please. :^)

[Saundra Duffy]

But I don't want to be anonymous. What would be the fun in that? Ha! This is interesting. Say, you guys, I'm so glad you're doing this! It's gonna be great. For victory & freedom!!!

[Mama_Bear]

If you saw just how short handed the crew at the base is you'd understand why I am needed here.

Of course, everyone does understand, I'm sure. But we are disappointed that you won't be able to join us. Bless you for the good work you are doing. :-)

(((((hugs)))))

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Saundra! I have you and Scott on the yes list and Amy has you down for macaroni salad. :-)

That is so nice of you, Saundra and Scott, to open up your home, as you did for the Brunch, for FReepers who need a place to stay. Yes, we are going to have a great time!

ladyinred and chadsworth, thank you also for offering your spare room. You are so nice to do this. :-)

[Auntie Mame]

Can't go but wish you well.

Bump.

[JustAmy]

So all of you on my ping list, don't ignore me!!
Please. :^) Come help us protest the war protestors


Then let's party

[Cool Guy]

Let me know if you wanna car pool.

[JustAmy]

We will miss you!

Thanks a lot for the invite. I enjoyed my stay @ your place last time and this time I will be there with my sleeping bag. Thanks once again.
