+1.jpg)
Attention all blogging/Tweeting types who couldn't get a ticket to the inauguration despite your best Congress-person
The ServiceNation folks are looking for a few (or more!) good bloggers to attend as press and live blog/Tweet the event. Admission is free. There might even be a bagel in it for you.
What else is in it for you? So glad you asked ...
* You get to be part of a campaign to promote and expand the American tradition of citizen service.
* You get to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and report on President-elect Obama's vision for service and strong, bipartisan support for service in the Congress.
* What, doing good still isn't doing it for ya? Fine. Then you'll be front row center for some major celeb sightings, including speakers Martin Luther King III,
Then after the eggs and bacon are gone, guests are invited to participate in a service project with coalition partners at Simon Elementary School (401 Mississippi Avenue, SE), just a few blocks from the breakfast.
Come get great pictures and interviews as volunteers beautify the school by painting classrooms and murals, transforming the library, and more.
Still with me? Excellent! Here are the deets:
