I have to start thinking of what I'm going to do to help President Obama save our country.
What will I pledge to do, that I'm not already doing, to help make "Yes We Can" a reality.

I want to get more involved in food banks, for one thing.

2. I've been thinking about helping my local schools.
Mentoring, fund raising, whatever they need.

6. I volunteered with "Pages for Prisoners" yesterday in honor of King Day -
and I had a really good time. I read two letters from prisoners, selected books to send them, and then wrote a letter and packed them for mailing. In other words I didn't do much, but I really enjoyed the people who were there and I want to do it again. My favorite part of the day was the trip to the store the previous evening -- I bought 5 copies of "Dreams of My Father" and 5 copies of "Audacity of Hope" to donate to the group. They were happy with the donation and expect lots of requests for those books over the next few months.
