SSI Tea Party Patriots

It looks like our main speaker will be Barry Farber, but we are still trying to raise the money to cover his (and his wife's) airfare from NY. This is the only compensation he has requested, and he is willing to fly Coach, so I am thrilled that we are able to have him join us! If anyone is able to help out with a few dollars, please remember that you can make a deposit at any Security Bank branch into the Tea Party account or by using the "Chip in" widget to the right.

Jackie will be joining me as a co-coordinator of our event. She is located in Kingsland, and she is working on publicity as well. You can also e-mail her at dj_hardy@tds.net if you have any questions.

Also, we are still in need of more food vendors. As of now, we have a hot dog cart and a barbeque trailer. I would like to have the Tea Party give out popcorn and cotton candy and request donations at these tables. A few of us were also considering renting a bounce house for the kids. It costs $140, and allows 8 children to bounce at a time. We have also reserved 2 portable event toilets from Jon-Jons. They assure me that these are nice and have not been used on construction sites. The cost is going to be $65 for each.

We have a registrar who has agreed to run the Voter Registration Table.

The following is a list of the volunteer positions we need for the Tea Party. If you are interested in helping out in any of these areas, please e-mail me at ssiteaparty@gmail.com.
