<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear Friend,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">As you know, the Corporation for National and
Community
Service has been preparing for the launch of an exciting new summer
service initiative
in partnership with the White House. Today, in a video message <<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://serve.gov/">http://serve.gov/</a>>
, President Obama will
officially announce the initiative, United We Serve, encouraging
Americans to
create meaningful change in their communities by engaging in service. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">United We Serve will kick off on June 22 at the
National
Conference on Volunteering and Service and will run through the new
National
Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11. All the tools for
participating in this initiative can be found on the Corporation's
website,
Serve.gov <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.serve.gov/">http://www.serve.gov/</a>>
. Please go there today, if you haven't already, to post your own
volunteer projects. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In addition, we encourage you to spread the

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Capacity is strained in community organizations
across
the country, so today we are also calling on Americans to take a
leadership
role in recruiting and organizing their friends, family, and neighbors
to
develop their own service projects that address pressing community
needs in
partnership with local organizations. To assist you, Serve.gov <<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://serve.gov/">http://serve.gov/</a>>
features toolkits for
developing projects in education, health, energy and the environment,
and
community renewal.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">To encourage participation in service this
summer and
beyond, the Serve.gov <<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.serve.gov/">http://www.serve.gov/</a>>
website features a volunteer matching platform called All For Good that
allows
people to search for volunteer opportunities based on location and
interests. The site also allows users to sign in with their primary
social network and includes social media tools to share volunteer
opportunities
with friends and see what<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">activities they are participating in. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This will be a very exciting 81 days. But, of
course, the call to service will not end on September 11. We hope that
Americans who serve this summer will stay engaged in the ongoing work
of
strengthening our communities. America's new foundation will be built
through
an ethic of service and the personal commitment of individuals willing
to give
of themselves to create a better future. <o:p></o:p></p>
