NEW YORK - Workers from city agencies that joined in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, along with New Orleans jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, will serve as the guests of honor at the annual New Year‘s Eve bash in Times Square.

'I am grateful to Mayor Bloomberg for giving me the opportunity to show that in this season of renewal, the people of the gulf region will rebuild and rejoice once again,' said Marsalis, who organized one of the major fund-raising shows for New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina."
