First Disability + Pride Inaugural Ball in DC

[Guest guest]

Thought to pass this along to anyone in the DC/Va/Md area who may be

interested in attending (I sure would!! and at $100/a plate isn't bad

at all considering how most political dinner functions cost.)

Cheers,

Irene

former Ca. Dem Party delegate
