I’m happy to report that the wonderful Obama Works Twin Cities group (their wrap-up is posted on the Day of Service page) has been featured on the BarackObama.com blog!  Check it out here:

Fulfilling their agreement to work rain or shine, the volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty, helping landscape two homes in dismal weather.

“It was hard, muddy work but very satisfying to see how we transformed these small urban yards into beautiful gardens,” said Vina, the event coordinator. “Each of the families worked alongside us, and we could see that they were grateful for the help and very proud of their homes.”

Vina put together the event with Obama Works Twin Cities, the local chapter of national group dedicated to community service. The group takes its inspiration from Barack and his call to “be the change we seek.”

“We all wore Obama Works plackets and buttons and t-shirts, and were complimented on our work by neighbors passing by. And at the end, we helped the family stake an Obama sign in their yard!”
