Grand Rapids, City of Service

Submitted by Jane Royer on December 16, 2009 - 10:24pm

This fall, Mayor George Heartwell signed Grand Rapids on as a City of Service, joining 79 other cities across America, representing more than 38 million Americans.

The Cities of Service initiative began on September 10, 2009 in New York City as a bi-partisan coalition of mayors dedicated to finding innovative ways to engage millions in volunteering. The group seeks to harness the power of volunteers to help solve pressing challenges and achieve the goals of the historic Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which provides unprecedented federal support for volunteer efforts.

I have found a lot of useful information from this platform. I must say that sharing your thoughts with one another is an easy way to relax yourself in the daily hectic routines. Each time a description of the change, there are always lots of talk about it anywhere. These are not exempt. I mean one must be up to date with the day to day change in the environment and in the technology as well. In my personal opinion, the world is turning into a global village and now you can get a lot of required information by just a click while sitting where ever you are.
