We're Leaving Monday Morning

We’re "ready to go."  All we need is to have you on the "traveling team" to and from Tallahassee.
We’re heading to the Capitol on Monday, April 20, 2009, departing from the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce at 8:30 a.m.  We’ll take care of all the details; we need you "in the room" to show your support for SunRail.   

We’ll travel "to-and-from" Tallahassee on Monday, April 20, 2009, via a luxurious "Charter Bus," courtesy of Brian Dickson, Vice President and General Manager of American Coach Lines of Orlando.  We’ll provide "coffee and donuts" in the morning, as well as a "box lunch," and "appropriate refreshments" during our safe return home; after the Committee Meeting.

It’s "Do or Die" for SunRail

As you know, SB 1212 (SunRail) has now been calendared by Senator Mike Fasano, Chairman of the Florida Senate Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations (TED) Committee.  The meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 20, 2009, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Room 309 of The Capitol in Tallahassee. 

Here’s Our Plan
