Be a Couch Potato

The talk around the water cooler this morning, or the tea pot in our case, was about iParticipate, an exciting new concept brought about by the Entertainment Industry Foundation. The group has come together; along with the big four networks, to showcase volunteering in their shows for the week and encourage a “new era of service and volunteering.”

PSA’s have already been shown on TV and focus on five causes EIF is promoting, Education & Children, Health & Well Being, Economic Development, Environmental Conservation, and Support for Military Families.

During this week, all of your favorite shows will have story lines pertaining to volunteering and being a good member of your community including The Office (Laura’s and Amanda’s favorite) The Today Show (Heather’s favorite), and Bones (my favorite). We’ll all be watching

The real question is what are you going to do about it? Once this week is over, will you let it slip your mind until next year, or will you go to www.vcstory.org to volunteer to change to world?
