A Call to Serve
Posted by Missy W. @ 11:53 AM
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
The President-elect and Vice President-elect have launched a national organizing effort on the eve of their Inauguration to engage Americans in service, especially in our own communities. Check out this awesome site to help you find out how to serve in your own community. If you take pictures or have a story to tell about your community service, you can email it to usaservice.org.
What a great opportunity to teach your kids how to give back. We are starting out our day by donating some of Sy’s books to a local children’s book drive. It took some serious mental-arm-twisting to get Sy to pony up some of her books, but we got there. I look forward to getting my pint sized social justice warrior out there with me today.

We followed Sy’s, and MLK Jr.‘s, and the Obamas’ good example, and my daughters offered up two bags full of dolls and stuffed animals. We enjoyed the goodwill at Goodwill, too!
