First Lady Calls on US to Give Back
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 10:47PM I have been impressed with Michele Obama since Day 1 as our nation's First Lady. I loved the photos of her planting a vegetable garden at the White House with a group of fifth graders and her support of the arts by hosting an exclusive jazz workshop for top jazz high school students in the East Room.
Now she has delivered her biggest message in launching a magnificent initiative to motivate all Americans to give back. A friend of mine sent me an email that she received from Michele, and I wanted to share it with you.
Dear,
National and community service has been a cornerstone of my life, as I know it has been for many Americans. And with the daily struggles now confronting so many families, it's especially important for us to reach out to one another and offer a helping hand.
I've just launched United We Serve, a national initiative to tackle our toughest problems by working hand-in-hand in communities across the country. We aim to make a real difference right now and bring more and more Americans into a tradition of life-long service to make an even greater difference down the road.
I'd like to invite you to be a part of it by joining Organizing for America's National Health Care Day of Service this weekend. You can join up with other local OFA supporters to help improve health care services in your community and make a difference as we work to reform America's health care system.
Sign up now to participate in a National Health Care Day of Service event this Saturday, June 27th.
