1/17/2021 - Invitation to Join in Honoring Those We Have Lost to COVID19
|
We are honored to share an invitation from the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) with you.
It offers a wonderful opportunity to come together, even as we are apart. They ask we participate in honoring all we have lost to COVID19 by ringing bells and/or illuminating a building or lighting candles. It offers houses of worship, public buildings and monuments, and private homes the chance to come together to honor those we have lost and to demonstrate our unity.
The information is below if you would like to participate and feel free to share this with others. The PIC asks you to register with them – the hyperlink is below – so they have a sense of scale. Feel free to let us know if you are participating as we would like to share in honoring our New Jersey friends and family lost to COVID19. We will be lighting the State House, the Governor’s Office, and other state offices.
