I am so glad that I had the opportunity to share in the experience of watching the Inauguration event at Ridgeview Recreation Hall with my co-workers from the WRC and with a community of people. We all stood together, applauded together, prayed together, and cheered together as we watched our 44th President take his oath of office. The atmosphere felt like I was right there in Washington. I know that I would not have had the same experience watching the highlights of it later in the day at home.
The Ridgeview community also made the event extra special by having three talented youth read their essays on their thoughts of the election. Also, two community groups of Hmong and African-American young ladies shared their cultural dances in celebration. Bravo to the Ridgeview community! There are times when we should all take a few moments out of our busy schedules to come together as a community and celebrate the very important events of our country.
