Neighbors,

Every time our nation has faced crisis, our national experience has shown Americans rise to the challenge. While government has an important role to play in helping rekindle our economy and addressing the problems our country faces, President-elect Obama believes each of us, as Americans, has a responsibility to do what we can for our communities and fellow citizens. The United States is once again at a crossroads and that is why the President-elect hopes to use the occasion of his Inauguration to rally our nation to commit to service in our communities.

This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Neighbors for Neighbors, Inc. is joining with President-elect Obama in making this call to service to our community and every American across the country to reignite the nation's spirit of volunteerism and community service. This new effort, Renew America Together, is not just about stepping up to serve for a single day, but rather to make a continued commitment to serving our communities throughout the year. Together, with our next President, we are asking that you and your family, friends and neighbors sign-up to volunteer on January, 19, 2009 right now.

To get active please go to www.USAService.org

This new, interactive website enables Americans in every state in the nation to find a volunteer opportunity in their neighborhood, or to create and host an event on their own. Please click on the link above and sign-up to volunteer today. Together, we can begin to Renew America.

Your neighbor,

Joseph Porcelli
