Maria Shriver, California's first lady invited another first lady, Michelle Obama to join her in San Francisco Monday, June 22. The aim was to help finish a playgroung at Bret Harte Elementary school. What is wonderful about this story is the work done by volunteers.
"You don't have to be a first lady to make a difference, you don't have to be a president or a governor... You just have to be a patient, committed, and compassionate human being," said Maria Shriver.
This event was the beginning of a 12-week program entitled Summer of Service which is part of the President's United We Serve program. The goal is to encourage individuals to become involved in their community through service. Let's all find someway to join in and make a difference in our own community.
