The Associated Press reports Mr. Kerry’s nomination as Secretary of State by President Obama has been unanimously approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the full senate may vote to confirm his appointment as soon as this afternoon. Thus, Mr. Kerry’s soon-to-be-former-Massachusetts team is hosting the event on Thursday, January 31 at 6:00 p.m. at Faneuil Hall. Attendees are advised to arrive at 5:15 p.m. If you are interested or involved in Massachusetts politics, this is going to be a who’s-who, and definitely a must-attend.
