You can hear the Declaration of Independence ceremoniously read this Saturday, July 4, at 10:30 a.m., from the balcony of the Old State House, just as it was read to the patriotic citizens of Boston in July, 1776.  Parades, music, and salutes prior to the reading begin at 8:30 on the City Hall Plaza.  A reception follows.  It’s a grand (and uncrowded) way to observe Independence Day.  If you can’t get there, at least read the Declaration of Independence to your family.  They’ll remember that you did.

Aloha from the White House

Victoria Lynch and her cousin Crystal Shaughnessy were helping to represent the Ninth Congressional District (along with Congressman Stephen Lynch and his wife Margaret) at the Annual White House cookout for members of Congress and their families. This year’s event took on the theme of a Hawaiian Luau, in celebration of President Obama’s home state. The President, wearing a purple lei, walked from the Oval Office holding the hand of daughter Sasha. Daughter Malia, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden followed, all bedecked with leis. First dog, Bo also made an appearance. After brief remarks, President and Mrs. Obama mingled with guests and were gracious enough to pose for pictures.
