We, the writers of Delaware Liberal, were bummed that there seemed to be no way of getting our team down to the Inauguration or to attend one of the prestigious Inaugural Balls in Washington. So we have decided to celebrate the occasion of the inauguration of Obama/Biden and Markell/Denn right here in Delaware.
Jack Markell has urged Delawareans to give back to the community to celebrate his victory, so we wanted to do something to honor that request. So, along with the Progressive Democrats for Delaware and Drinking Liberally, DelawareLiberal and it’s readers will gather at 9AM on January 24th at the Food Bank of Delaware off of Rt 72 in Newark to help the Food Bank with packing food for distribution to various organizations that provide sustenance to the less fortunate of Delaware. We are asking you and your family to join us for three hours of rewarding work. Please let me know by emailing liberalgeek at delawareliberal.net. It will be a great chance to help the community and finally see Donviti do some work. We only have 30 spots, so be sure to let me know as soon as you can.
After the work, we will have time to play. We will be throwing our own “Taste of Victory” Inaugural Ball from 7-11PM at Deerfield Fine Wines in Newark. We will be serving wine, eating tapas style appetizers and hobnobbing with the staff of DelawareLiberal and politicians. Per Donviti’s request, there will be no dancing.
The price for this event will be $30 per person or $50 per couple. The event will be upscale dress (no jeans) and will be limited to 21 or older (sorry Mat!). The proceeds from the evening will go to support Autism Delaware to help them to serve the needs of children and adults with Autism.

We anticipate a large turnout, including Matt Denn (and hopefully Jack Markell, too). I suspect that Obama and Biden are off the table…
Over the next few weeks we will be profiling our charities and telling you their stories. We hope you will join us in supporting these fine charities and the people that make them go. We will also provide you with opportunities to contribute monetarily to these charities, even if you cannot attend the event on January 24th.
We have added a new link to the top of the site that will give you the rundown of the events. Please be sure to check it out for more information. See you on the 24th.
