Starbucks and Hands on Network are supporting the President's call for national service. From January 21-25, 2009 pledge 5 hours to the cause of your choice. In doing so, Starbucks has pledged to give us a tall drink for our "troubles."
All we have to say is 5 HOURS out of 8,660 HOURS in a year isn't bad at all.
Regardless if you're busy with school or work or updating your myspace profile...
FIVE HOURS helping others is FIVE HOURS well spent. It's a new year, a new presidency, a NEW DAY worth living. So, rather than spending this year focusing on just yourself and all your worthwhile endeavors, why not focus some of that time simply...
HELPING OTHERS. :)
AND NO,
We're not talking about helping your close friends and family (although all that is fine, great and beautiful), We're talking about meeting NEW faces, going to NEW places, and just stepping out of your comfort zones in order to help various causes GREATER than yourself.
In some cases, it'll be fun.
In some cases, it's be difficult.
But in all cases, it'll be worth it.
So what the heck,
go ahead and accept this "STARBUCKS CHALLENGE!" And while you do that, we'll be challenging ourselves to volunteer elsewhere, other than REVO.
Be Inspired,
Nina B. & Brendon James
