INAUGURATION PARTY

I attended an Inauguration Party hosted by Paul Tick and Agnes Zellin at Java Jazz in Delmar last night. There were quite a few people there -- and it was really terrific to talk to so many who were overjoyed at the inauguration of our new President, Barack Obama. The conversations centered around everyone's hopes for the next four years, especially as it regards fixing the economy, peace in the Middle East and renewable energy technology. I left with the impression that there is so much we can do together in the next four years.

I was joined at the event by Bethlehem Planning Board Member Kate Powers, my fellow Town Board member Kyle Kotary, County Legislator Phil Steck and County Legislator Doug Bullock.
