    An Evening with the Big Band. A Car will pick you up around 7. No need to eat, as hors d'oeuvres & Refreshments will be served. Or perhaps we'll stop along the way & get a bite. Music by Band in a Box. Please do dress up a bit & please,,, no blue jeans. If you start this video at 11 P.M. it will end at about 3 minutes to midnight & a New Year! Enough time to freshen up your glass for a toast!

    (Please feel free to move this somewhere else if necessary.)

    I heard Amanda Gorman present her new poem for 2022 last night on one of the New Year's Eve programs. She has a cadence in her presentation that adds, but I think it stands well alone also. I love her style, how she plays with the words, and impressed at how someone so young would refer to the song Auld Lang Syne. I'm including the entire poem because I can't find a link to just the text elsewhere.

    New Day's Lyric
    by Amanda Gorman

    May this be the day
    We come together.
    Mourning, we come to mend,
    Withered, we come to weather,
    Torn, we come to tend,
    Battered, we come to better.

    Tethered by this year of yearning,
    We are learning
    That though we weren't ready for this,
    We have been readied by it.
    We steadily vow that no matter
    How we are weighed down,
    We must always pave a way forward.
    *
    This hope is our door, our portal.
    Even if we never get back to normal,
    Someday we can venture beyond it,
    To leave the known and take the first steps.
    So let us not return to what was normal,
    But reach toward what is next.
    *
    What was cursed, we will cure.
    What was plagued, we will prove pure.
    Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree,
    Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee,
    Where we weren't aware, we're now awake;
    Those moments we missed
    Are now these moments we make,
    The moments we meet,
    And our hearts, once all together beaten,
    Now all together beat.
    *
    Come, look up with kindness yet,
    For even solace can be sourced from sorrow.
    We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday,
    But to take on tomorrow.
    *
    We heed this old spirit,
    In a new day's lyric,
    In our hearts, we hear it:
    For Auld Lang Syne, My Dear,
    For Auld Lang Syne.

    Be bold, sang Time this year,
    Be bold, sang Time,
    For when you honor yesterday,
    Tomorrow ye will find.
    Know what we've fought
    Need not be forgot nor for none.
    It defines us, binds us as one,
    Come over, join this day just begun.
    For wherever we come together,
    We will forever overcome.
