"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character than giving our all to a difficult task."
President Barack Obama

HAPPIER BIRTHDAY
Here's a way to double your pleasure. Call a homeless shelter or boys or girls club and ask if there's a child who shares your birthday. On the special date you have in common, deliver a gift to him or her.
I have long been interested in volunteerism and involvement in one's community. Energized by the election of Barack Obama, I created this site to spread the word and facilitate a dialogue about the many different ways we can work together to make the world a better place. Yes we Can-do!
Please tell others about this site, please share your ideas, and please tell us about worthy organizations and individuals engaged in projects that some of us might want to join or replicate. Email us at thedailycando@gmail.com
