Hi, All -

For what it's worth, here's my "three cents" worth:) I prefer to keep the
April 20th date. I feel like we are aiming this at people who aren't yet
involved in a "freedom-minded group".  While there are other conflicts (and
will be with any date we choose), I feel certain those we are trying to
reach will not likely be attending the Central Florida event and,
therefore, this will not pose a great conflict for them.  Since the King
Center is already booked and the forms are already printed, I feel we
should move forward with the April 20th date.
