EXTENDED CALL-A-RIDE BUS SERVICE FOR INAUGURATION

The president of the CNMI Center for Independent Living Group is requesting to have an extended bus service on Jan. 9, 2005, to include bus services no later than 10pm. The extended time is being requested so that group and other folks needing the service could attend the festivities of the inauguration—an important and historic event in the CNMI.

The CNMI Council on Developmental Disabilities has elected to approve the group’s request.
