Senator Leahy's E-mail

From Senator Leahy’s e-mail:

In just a few weeks time we will be celebrating the inauguration of a new president.  Millions of Americans are expected to visit Washington, DC to attend the inaugural festivities and thousands of Vermonters will be among them.  If you are one of those Vermonters that is planning on traveling down to our nation’s capital, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the Vermont State Society Inaugural Reception on Sunday, January 18, 2009, 8pm-11pm.

From Congressman Welch’s e-mail:

The reception will be a great way for Vermonters to connect and commemorate this inauguration. It will take place at a venue adjacent to the Capitol where you can enjoy a rooftop view of Washington,DC at night. Tickets, and further information, are available on the Vermont State Society website www.vtss.org.
