So everybody I have some great news. Representative Kanjorski’s office just contacted us and confirmed that we have tickets for the Swearing-in Ceremony of President Elect Obama! This news is what I have been waiting for since we first started discussing this trip, and now that it has happened I am beyond relieved. Packaged along with the tickets was an invitation to a reception with Mr. Kanjorski which I am looking forward to immensely. Also we have received tickets to the Celebration of Many Nations one People Ball, which I am looking forward to attending. Here is the description from their website, "A Celebration of Many Nations - One People" The 2009 American Indian Inaugural Ball brings together Native leaders, organizations, artists, musicians, and professionals from across the country.
I am glad to see so many things coming together in the final week before the event, and I am really looking forward to all the goings on. As usual, if you have any questions or comments feel free to post a comment on the blog, or email me at David.cook@wilkes.edu. I look forward to hearing from you.Oh, and if you missed it here is the link to my WBRE interview. So much has been happening
I almost forgot to mention that on the morning of the 20th you can listen for my call in live from D.C on the WBRE’s Morning Show, and for all of you out on your way to work, you can listen to me on Magic 93 with Frankie in the Morning as I will be placing some phone calls with him as well.

Hello. ^_^ I am from Professor Mellon's COM 101 class at Wilkes University. The Celebration of Many Nations seems to be the most interesting event for me. Do tell how nice it is, please. ^^
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the ceremony. ^_^
I am also in Professor Mellons COM 101 class. This event is very exciting. I wish I was able to attend this great event. Have fun down there and enjoy witnessing history.
ReplyDeleteI am also from Professor Mellon's COM 101 class. I'm jealous that you have tickets to attend the ceremony and the Celebration of Many Nations. I have a question for you: During the election, was there any certain policy issue that you felt affected your vote the most significantly? If so, what was the issue, and what are your opinions on the issue?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy D.C. You are very lucky.
Hey I am also from Prof. Mellon's COM class and we met through my friend Katie Blose. I think that this is an event you will never forget. I had the option to go down with my national guard unit but i'd rather watch then perform riot control. I hope you have a blast and hope you make this a memorable occasion.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself
