My Turn Day

Our new president has devoted a lot of time to talking about rebuilding America. He has challenged us to be part of positive change in our nation, by getting involved in volunteer projects in our community. What if. What if you woke up one morning, and you were flooded with messages from people you know…all talking about the same thing? On your cell phone, on your Facebook and Myspace, on Twitter and Linked-in, in your email and on your instant messenger, Virtually everywhere you turned, you saw a message about yet another American giving their time to a great cause. Think of the statement that could make. My Turn Day. On February 10, It’s your turn to announce to the world exactly what you’re doing to serve your community. You blog it, text it, email it, twitter it, webcam it, maybe even write it on the back window of your car. Let the world know exactly what you’re DOING. Chances are, all those messages will inspire them to serve too. For one single day, we can unite America in a single cause. So make FEBRUARY 10th, YOUR TURN on MY TURN DAY. Working in a Homeless shelter Reading a book to others Serving at a Soup kitchen Painting a house Cleaning a park Building a playground Bringing food to the elderly On MY TURN DAY, update the status on every webpage you have. Twitter it, IM it, send out a mass text to everyone in your contact list. Your message could be as simple as this: Tamara is reading to the blind every Saturday starting this weekend.
