Inauguration Celebration

COME ONE, COME ALL - CELEBRATE AND RECOMMIT!
the Santa Cruz Branch of the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom (SC-WILPF) invites you, your friends, family, and coworkers, to:

An Inauguration Day Celebration
Tuesday January 20th
2:30-5:30PM
in downtown Santa Cruz

What do you most hope for in the next four years? What are you willing to work for? President-elect Obama has emphasized again and again the importance of the Citizens staying involved if we truly want the changes we seek.

Join us as we:
1) Gather at the County Courthouse, 701 Ocean St., for music and ceremony, 2:30-3:15PM
2) Parade from there through downtown Santa Cruz, 3:15-4PM
3) Re-circle at the top of Pacific Avenue, by the Post Office and the Town Clock, for more music, celebration, and a street party, 4-5:30PM (or as late as it goes!)

This is a participatory event!!!

We will all have the opportunity to be sworn in as Citizens in Chief for the next four years, to join in song, to promenade, and to recommit to the timeless values and standards we all share when we rekindle the torches of our 20 foot tall Statue of Liberty!!!!

Bring your *HOMEMADE signs of your greatest hopes and commitments!
Bring banners and flags!
Bring drums, bells, and gongs!
Be creative! Be outrageous!! Be thankful!!!

Breathe a sigh of relief that the last eight years are coming to an end!
And take a deep breath of hope for the years ahead!!

*there will be a sign making party at the Veterans Hall, next to the Main Post Office in Santa Cruz, on Saturday, January 10th, from 11AM-3PM . Materials WILL be provided, or bring your own as well!!
