I've written a couple of times in the last few months about the generally-forgotten aspect of Obamamania -- his call for people to volunteer more.
It's not happening all that much, although it's still early. Still Michele Obama sent an e-mail message around today with a firm date for you to pitch in -- Monday.
Here's a site where you can find who needs your help and where you can sign up.
If you sign up to help out somewhere, let me know. I'll stop by to document your help.

My kids and I are filling kits at 2nd Harvest - Monday.
I'm going to head to the American Red Cross and donate blood.
Not to be toooo cynical - but how is a MLK Celebration: Join us at Powderhorn Park for games, crafts for kids, music, food and fun.
supposed to be service?
