You Shall Go to the Ball!
If you haven’t received your embossed invitation to one of the numerous inaugural balls to be held in Washington next week - never fear - Google, along with LCCR (Leadership Conference on Civil Rights), are having a ball everyone can attend … okay, so it is more of a party … but it still sounds like a great time.
“We’re calling it an alternative to traditional inaugural balls,” said a Google spokesman, Adam Kovacevich.
According to a recent article in the New York Times - the party is to be held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. Google, in keeping with its casual California style, is asking attendees to skip the black tie.
Instead of having to purchase tickets, like other inaugural balls, Google is asking folks to make a donation to five nonprofits, including the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights … and Google will then match all contributions.
What a wonderful way to join in the inaugural fun and, at the same time, support a lot of great organizations!
Now all you have to do is get there!

P.S. I want to take a moment to wish each of you the best this holiday weekend … reflecting on the life of a great leader, Dr. Martin Luther King … and a great visionary in our new President, Barack Obama. To quote a song by Cy Coleman, with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh … “The best is yet to come, and won’t that be fine - You think you’ve seen the sun, but you ain’t seen it shine!”
