I am simply thrilled that Barack Obama is the President of the United States. The Presidential Inauguration Committee recently launched USAservice.org to support President-elect Obama's call to "Renew America Together." Given that the inauguration is happening just after Martin Luther King Day, it is appropriate that we celebrate with service.

Just enter your ZIP code at USAservice.org to find a service opportunity near you. You can also organize your own service event and list it on the site. If you prefer, peruse the archives of So What Can I Do to find your own ideas. And please leave a comment letting us know about your efforts.

Service to others is a manifestation of our theme (by Ghandi) - "Be the change you want to see in the world." Enjoy!

"If you want to be important-wonderful. If you want to be recognized-wonderful. If you want to be great-wonderful. But, recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That's a new definition of greatness." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, on 4 February 1968.
