While I am a native Washingtonian and live in DC, I can't afford the tickets for events in the city, or they are all sold out, or one simply won't be able to get around the city on January 20, so I'm looking forward to celebrating in Calvert County, MD!!!!

Photos will be taken on the red carpet as you enter to help you to savor this memorable event. This will give guest the opportunity to mix and mingle while waiters will serve drinks, and Hors’ D’ Oeuvres. You will also be serenaded by our featured artist “Tamara Wellons”. As we are wooed by her vocal finesse, there will be a silent auction of desirable objects to commemorate the event. The Grand Ballroom doors will be opened at 8:15 p.m. for dinner which will include a 4 course meal, gift bags, a program that will pay homage to President-Elect Barrack Obama and our history. After the message rings clear, Yes We Can! And Yes We Did! All attendees are invited to continue to celebrate the evening throughout all the venues. We want everyone to celebrate this momentous event and also contribute to this very worthy cause. Let us come together in style. There's no better way to celebrate the New Year, New Presidency and New Hope in the fight against sickness and disease. FYI: Black Tie Required
