7. Updated info from Mass Dem Party
Yesterday was a very sad day for all of us. Senator Kennedy's passing makes us all pause to remember fondly times
when he or his work impacted us personally. Over the course of the last 24 hours, the State Party's office has
been inundated with calls requesting information and people looking for ways to express their love for Senator
Kennedy. As a Democratic leader, I am sure you are also receiving these kinds of requests so I wanted to be sure
you have all the information you need and to alert you to opportunities to remember Senator Kennedy.

Arrangements

For all updated information regarding arrangements and to celebrate the life and work of Senator Edward M. Kennedy
please visit www.tedkennedy.org. Motorcade information is below.

The public is invited to participate in services in honor of Senator Kennedy. The Massachusetts Democratic Party
would like to ask you to join us today along the motorcade route as we pay tribute to Senator Kennedy.

The motorcade will depart the Cape at 1:00 PM and travel north to Boston on Route 93. They will exit at Government
Center, and travel down Hanover St. into the North End, past St. Stephen’s Church, where his mother Rose was
baptized and her funeral Mass celebrated.

Continuing down Hanover St. and crossing over the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, the park Senator Kennedy
joined community leaders in creating that gives mothers and their children green space in the heart of the city.
The park sits on the same land young Rose Fitzgerald enjoyed as a child. Senator Kennedy will pass Faneuil Hall
where Mayor Menino will ring the bell 47 times.

Continuing to Bowdoin Street, Senator Kennedy will pass 122 Bowdoin, where he opened his first office as an
Assistant District Attorney and President Kennedy lived while running for Congress in 1946.

He’ll pass the JFK Federal Building where his Boston office has stood for decades, and then travel to Dorchester
Street into South Boston and to the JFK Presidential Library.

People who wish to honor Senator Kennedy are urged to line the motorcade route at the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
Greenway, City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common, in front of the State House on Park Street.

Books of Condolence

At least three options exist for people to send their best wishes to the Senator's family:

The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum - In remembrance of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the library will have
condolence books available until Friday September 4th for the public to sign during normal Museum operating hours,
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Massachusetts State House - In remembrance of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Secretary of State William Galvin has
placed a condolence book at the State House in the Hall of Flags for the public to sign during normal business
hours through Friday August 28th.

Democratic Leaders - If getting to Boston is not easy for you, the Massachusetts Democratic Party is collecting
the thoughts, memories and condolences of citizens from around the country and we will deliver them to the Kennedy
family. You can do so online by ] . We are also encouraging people to
go out into their communities and ask others to participate by signing a condolence page. The condolence page,
which you can print, is attached to this email. All signed pages returned to the Massachusetts Democratic Party
offices by Friday September 4th will be bound and delivered to the Kennedy family. The address of the MDP office
is 56 Roland St. Suite 203 Boston, MA 02129.

Thank you,
John Walsh
