[Events] Please read this carefully...

Tue Mar 12 17:48:33 EDT 2013

I’m going to apologize in advance for the tone of this email, but I am beyond frustrated with the thread unfolding here today. With these last posts from Eric and Alice it is now clear we have some massive miscommunication/misinformation within this committee. 

To wit: EVERY group in the county was invited to participate in this event from inception. I personally sat at a county wide steering committee meeting at Pat Pasley’s house a few weeks ago at which this event was discussed amongst all the county groups. If the other groups didn’t know about it, how could they be hosting the dessert booth?

Here is a recap of where we are (and have been):

·         All of the county groups were invited to participate

·         All of the marketing materials and forms are done (and have been done for almost two weeks)

·         The web site registration is set up (and has been for almost two weeks)

·         We have done a walkthrough at the King Center and have a plan for the floorplan

·         WMMB AM was going to begin advertising next Monday

To my knowledge there was nothing left but restaurant and booth sales along with some minor decorating and entertainment details, and everyone at the committee meeting week before last had committed to go and sell. Now we’re back to second guessing the date again. We cannot get this done with half the committee on one page and half on another. 

If you are advocating to postpone, please provide three alternate dates you would like to postpone to. I will bounce them off the King Center tomorrow. My preference is June, and the June Saturdays are 6/1, 6/8, 6/15, 6/22 & 6/29. I need your date suggestions before open of business tomorrow so I can check the dates with the King Center during the day so can have this sorted before the meeting tomorrow night.

Going forward I’m asking that you please don’t put forth an objection or criticism unless you have a corresponding suggestion or alternative course of action. Otherwise this is all just one big bitch-fest and nothing constructive gets done. 

For those who don’t know, I organized the July 4th 2009 Tea Party that drew almost 4,000 people to the Stadium with two other people in less time and with less fuss than this. It’s not rocket science, people. Plan the work and work the plan!

In liberty,

Matt Nye

Perhaps he thinks that waiting until we get 'ground work' done, would be time to invite them.....but trouble is, seems that our comm. has not done its job yet, and I include myself among them.    I've contacted 2 restaurants....not heard back, and have been too busy working with the gov's office; Pam Bondi's;Jennifer Carrolls office; Posey's, etc. plus keeping up with other responsibilities to do more right now.    I feel totally overwhelmed with what I've got on my plate.    Sorry.

Just don't want this to bomb out.    It has such great potential.

Am working with the Mel. Art Fest, which will be held on April 27 and 28.....so I know there are always conflicts....its just that on 4-20, there are MAJOR conflicts, which MANY of the patriots from Brevard would want to be a part of.  And this is a one day deal.        Thats all I can say right now on this.

Ladies,

I would also like to add that if we were to include all of the "liberty minded groups" in Brevard, it might yield greater success and  an easier time planning.  I have observed over the last month, that most of the Tea Party faithful are also members of the Titusville Patriots, Brevard 912, RLC, ACT! for America, etc.  Not only should we push back the date, but include all that would support the event. 

We've got to come together.

Eric

I suggested moving this event forward two mtgs ago on our conference call and many seemed to agree and I thought it was set.  But then the last mtg at Denny's apparently there was a vote with whomever was there and they wanted to keep it the same. 

I don't think it's realized at how much we have to get done including advertising for a month.  We can't advertise until we have many of the restaurants committed so that we can include some of the names as to who will be supplying some of the samples. 

For those who agree, can you please reply and let's have some discussion on it.

I totally agree, Robin!   I'm sure AVET would appreciate it too, as their April schedule is crazy. 

We definitely need to get a WHOLE lot more accomplished on this than we have now.   This just does NOT seem like a good time and hasn't since its inception! 

Freedom Works is also planning an event in April for Orlando...and guess what date they chose???   yep, April 20th.

I put the kabosh on it, and haven't heard a word back yet.

Just not enough time to do it justice.     Alice Kreitz

Wanted to add to my earlier email of suggesting moving it to June or sep if u want to avoid jul and aug.  nothing is pressing us to do this in such a short time.

Remember this is our coming out party and it has to be a success!

Alice, I strongly agree with moving the event but we should do it a month more later. My husband has been involved with planning events like this and he said we should have everything all done by now. We're not even close. 

Would we rather risk not having a successful event w low attendance and poor, last minute planning because we don't want to push it forward or do we want to guarantee a successful event w lots of attendance and a good coordinated event by moving the date forward??

Vacations should not be a reason to move this forward. 

My three cents (Inflation) ;-)

I asked Liberty Counsel and Matt Staver's office for this info again, for some of you who would be interested in hearing some of the fantastic speakers who will be highlighted in this Event.   I just DO NOT understand why it is soooooooooo difficult to move the tea party event up a week or so.  There are absolutely TOOOOOOOOOO MANY things happening on the SAME day of April 20.  

This event in Oviedo should be vitally important to every 'tea party' person in Brevard Co.    Its actually not that far from us!   And its very reasonable to attend! To me, it is more important than the one day airshow being held that day, that I am also supposed to work at.  

I'm sorry I will miss the meeting on Wed. due to a conflict with the pageant, but I just don't know why it would be so difficult to move the date up a little.  Matt, have you tried at all????    I'd be happy to speak to my friends at the King Center to see what can be arranged.

BTW, there is a live link on the site to connect with hotels in area, if you wish to spend night there.  Thank you,  Alice K.
