Global Cleveland Launch Party
Cleveland City Hall Rotunda
May 24, 2011

500 or so Clevelanders got together on a Tuesday night in May to celebrate the launch of the Global Cleveland Initiative.

It was a party but a few introductory speeches were made. The acoustics and noise were terrible (it was a party!) but you can hear enough from the videos below.
