Reminder: Old North State (NC) FReepers meeting 08/24/02

Old North State Freepers / Free Republic Network ^ | August 20, 2002 | Constitution Day

[Constitution Day]

Good afternoon North Carolina FReepers!

I sent out an e-mail to members of the Old North State Chapter back on August 10th.
I only got a handful of responses and someone suggested I should post an announcement on the main board, as well.

So, here are the particulars:

WHAT: First chapter meeting of Old North State Chapter.

WHERE: Howlin's house (see directions & Yahoo map link when you log into Freeper.org)
YOUR FR SCREEN NAME /PASSWORD WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE FORUM!

WHEN: 6:00 P.M. on Saturday, August 24th, 2002

WHY: Get-acquainted meeting, along w/ discussion of upcoming NC primaries and general strategy/direction for the future.

WHO: Any NC FReeper who wants to show up! You may bring your spouses, too.
Note: Mrs. CD and mykdsmom's husband are not coming. (I think we have talked them to death about FR already!)

What to bring:
1) Any campaign or other pertinent info you would like to share.
2)Your beverage of choice and & something to eat.
I would like for us to have dinner together since it's at 6:00.
We can work out the logistics of that when y'all reply to this thread.

This will be an informal group - we are not going to have an agenda, minutes, etc. unless the need arises in the future.
My primary objective in this is to actually get something ACCOMPLISHED with regard to getting rid of our Democratic state leaders...
Not emulating their bureaucracy!

Hoping to see everyone there,

Brandon
(a.k.a. Constitution Day)

MEETING ALERT!!

[dubyagee]

I had really hoped to attend but...

at present, my life is in a major upheaval. My husband is trying to get a fledgling business going, and I am going back to work after three years of being home with my children. 8 * (

This is the only week my husband will be in town this month. He will fly to NM on Monday after just returning this past Sunday. With all that is going on in my life right now, I probably wouldn't cast a very good first impression anyhow. ; * )

I truly wanted to attend...hopefully after all settles down I can attend later meetings. (After previewing this, it sounds like a bunch of whining...but I swear I feel like I'm on my last nerve!)

[glc1173@aol.com]

When you scheduled this, were you aware that the Greensboro Gun Show was that day?

[Constitution Day]

I'm sorry, I didn't.

I missed the gun show in Raleigh on the 17th and 18th because I was out of town.

[Constitution Day]

Hey, don't worry.
Provided we don't all hate each other (and I don't think we will), there will be future meetings.

You just come next time if you can... I know how busy this time of year is.

[Howlin]

FYI.

[Constitution Day]

NC Chapter ping!

[Constitution Day]

FYI...

By the way, did I ever get your e-mail address?

[Constitution Day]

Thanks very much for the stickers!

I got them just before I left and they look great.

[kayak]

I would love to attend but will be out of town ...... :-(

[4CJ]

Congratulations on the new chapter!

[Constitution Day]

Thanks!

[Constitution Day]

I also wanted you to see this.

We chatted in FRmail a while back.

[Constitution Day]

I'll check this thread later tonight... leaving work now.

[Overtaxed]

We're going to have the race on, right?

Just kidding! The VCR works.

[humblegunner]

Houston Chapter bumps North Carolina Chapter!
Y'all have fun and let us know how it turns out!!!

(Hard to compete with a gun show, though!!!)

[ncweaver]

The 24th is turning out to be a very busy Saturday, but it looks like my schedule is working out perfectly. I have a meeting in the AM & a baby shower for someone in the family that I HAVE to attend in the afternoon but it looks like I'll be back in time to make it to the FR meeting by 6:00.

It would be terrible if I had to miss, since I live only a few streets away from Howlin!!

[goosie]

We are planning to come (2).

[Skeet]

Thanks for adding me to your ping list. I, too will be tied up on Saturday attending a convention in my district. I hope to make your next event. Please keep me informed.

[Skeet]

Just your average everyday FRN BOD (Tarheel) PING!

Sorry I'm so late responding to this, I just now got online for the first time today and it's after 10 pm. I was starting to go through DT's.

[Overtaxed]

Don't forget to bring your pints!

I need to know what to put on the shopping list!

I was thinking along the lines of lasagne and Chiante

[Barset]

What town in NC? I'm way down east.

[Constitution Day]

Raleigh.

FRmail me if you want more info.

Also, if you modify your profile to show your location (NC) you can see the NC message board HERE.

[Constitution Day]

I'm in Edgecombe County, by the way.

[Windom Earle]

Good luck to all. This is important work, so always remember, whenever there are differences in opinion, that the things that you agree on are greater in number and far more important than the things where you differ.

I will be looking forward to a report on the meeting. I wish I could join you, but have certain other political obligations all weekend.

Regards.

[Constitution Day]

Well said. I hope that next time you can attend!

Regards,
CD

[Constitution Day]

BTTT

[lafroste]

Both myself and Mrs. lafroste are planning on coming over.

[lafroste]

(ya'll be polite now, y'hear?)

[Constitution Day]

Great!

I will, of course, be a gentleman.

[RightOnline]

Hey, you two!! Think the missus and I are going to try like hell to be there after all!!! But........need help FINDING the darned map to your place, Howlin. Guess I'm an idiot.............just no luck so far!

[Constitution Day]

Bring whatever you want.

I'm going to make some spinach & artichoke dip, I think.

[Constitution Day]

I will FRmail it to you... just didn't want to post it here on the open forum.

Who knows WHO would've shown up given the generally nasty tone lately.

[Constitution Day]

Friday afternoon ping.

[diotima]

Major BUMP!

Skeet you should go......

[Constitution Day]

I think he has a scheduling conflict.

Thanks,
CD

[Constitution Day]

One last before I leave...

[RightOnline]

Hey, son........PING. Your mom and I are going to try to make this. Give a shout if you wish.

[Skeet]

Will be tied up with a convention and dinner. I'm due for another FRN report, though. Be looking for a writeup on Sunday.

[Madcelt]

Hi CD,
I'd been trying to work out a way helix and I could make it, but we just can't go that far from home at the moment.

Let us know how things go and if we can help up our way.

[Constitution Day]

I completely understand.
I believe you already told me you wouldn't be able to come much.

Just didn't want to leave y'all out!

[mykdsmom]

Saturday am PING, tonights the night NC FReepers.

MKM

[Constitution Day]

Bump to the top, almost ready to leave!
