First Lady: These values help guide celebrations around the world and underscore the importance of togetherness, giving us the opportunity to cherish the bonds in our families and communities. 

Governor: May the next seven days bring plenty of warmth, prosperity, and joy for you and those you love into the new year and beyond.

Together: Happy Kwanzaa, Wisconsin!
