Some local community activists decided that we should have an Inaugural Ball here in the Quad Cities to mark the swearing in of President Obama on January 20, 2009. They reserved the RiverCenter in Davenport and announced that there would be a party.
Well, they had 500 guests and they sold out! Nancy and I decided to go and agreed to sit at the Community Caring Conference table. It was wonderful all the friends and neighbors we ran into. I guess they had the same idea we did.
A reporter for the local paper came by our table and snapped a photo. It turned up in the paper on January 21st. Ametra manages Douglas Park Place in Rock Island, and T.K., her date, is the President of the NAACP in Davenport. We had a good time, and I even got to dance a few dances with Nancy.
