Dear Friends-

Welcome to the Inaugural Web site.

I invite you to use this web site to become familiar with all official information regarding our 2006 Inaugural events.

I am pleased to tell you that the Inaugural Committee is hard at work planning a series of events to bring the celebration to our communities through six celebrations happening around the state. These events will take place over three evenings from January 11-13.

The Children's Inaugural on January 15 will provide an informative and entertaining opportunity for kids to learn more about our state and its governing process.

On January 16, as the nation honors the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are organizing a volunteer day of service. We want to show that the Inaugural is more than a new Governor- it is a celebration of our state and its people.

Finally, on the morning of the Inauguration we will begin by gathering for an interfaith prayer service in Princeton. The official swearing-in ceremony will be held at the War Memorial on January 17 and will be telecast live on this web site.

I invite you to share this exciting time and I look forward to serving you as your Governor.

Very truly yours,
