Important Change - Tomorrow's Inauguration Meetup
Hi Everybody,
Tomorrow, the Inauguration Meetup will start a little earlier and last later. Start: 3:00pm End:  9-9:30pm
The White House just announced the time schedule for the Inauguration. President Obama is taking the oath of office at 11:30am EST, so in the UK it will be 4:30pm. Then he will be giving his speech.  The President and family attend a luncheon, then come back to open and lead the Inaugural Parade.Then they get to the reviewing stand and watch the parade. I've copied the schedule below.  Please remember, all times below are in Washington.  There's a 5-hour time difference; the UK is 5 hours ahead of Washington.
***If you'd like to come after work, to share a very happy time with Obama supporters, please come anytime until 9pm. Burgers and Fries (or veg option) for everyone coming, included in the price.  *Free drink* (glass of beer, wine, soft drink) for anyone ordering food before 5pm, or for people who pay at the door.
"Though some view the inauguration as a partisan event, my staff and I hope that                                  Americans will walk away from this with the sense that it is not just a celebration of the                          president, but a celebration of the entire country.” Steve Kerrigan, chairman of President  Obama’s Inaugural Committee
Come meet new friends, and celebrate a great American day with us! Carole
