Monday night, Greater New Haven commemorated President Obama’s Inauguration in style, at the Omni Hotel. The Ball was titled “Moving the Dream Forward” and was put on by Griswold Home Care (www.griswoldhomecare.com) and New Haven Works. New Haven Works also benefited from the proceeds. Below are some photos of the event.

What method to you use to find all of these great events? I feel like the event calanders I check always miss the most interesting ones.
That's a good question, Samuel. Jeffrey and I are always on the look out for cool events, plus because we have the I Love New Haven website, we get invited to many events. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive one-stop calendar, but a couple of the best ones are on the New Haven Independent, and the New Haven Free Public Library websites.
