Posted by ERIC WILSON – I received notice from ServiceNation officials, that due to “Secret Service limitations, we have a lower seating capacity” for tonight’s presidential forum than previously planned. With the doors opening at 4:30 pm EDT, I’m about to head over to Columbia University’s Lerner Hall where Senators Obama and McCain will be asked about their opinions on service and civic responsibility, major themes at both the Democratic and Republican National conventions.
Before I go, I want to bring your attention to one of the Summit’s major goals this week, and it starts tonight. They are trying to get 1 million signatures for their Declaration of Service. Starting at 8:00 pm EDT, you can go to http://www.servicenation.org and add your name, declaring your support for the idea that service to community and country unites Americans and meets the challenges of our time. Check it out.
