Time to Serve

Move aside depressing economic outlook articles, this is going to be an exciting week.  If only I could be in D.C. for a front row view!

If you aren't lucky enough to have MLK Jr. Day as a national holiday and a day to volunteer your time, there is room for participation from all corners of the world.  It's time to get out and serve – and Change.org, ServiceNation, and USAService.org are making it accessible for the masses.

And its not just the citizenry getting in on the act, House Democrats have included support for non-profit social services in their economic stimulus package. 

If you haven't caught the “Change” bug yet, try a listen of McYogi's Be the Change and see if that helps to inspire.

It's going to be a good week – and let's hope all of this good energy doesn't fizzle out within the first 100 days.
