Tickets are not required; however, an RSVP is strongly encouraged. For security reasons, do not bring bags and please limit personal items. No signs or banners permitted.
Will be bringing two of my friends.
Is this event being cancelled because of Obama returning to Hawaii to be with his ailing Grandmother?
