Governor Urges Action on September 11, 2011
Governor Bev Perdue encourages North Carolinians to honor first responders for the 10-year anniversary of Sept.11. Visit the Governor's website to send an electronic thank you to a first responder in your community. Also, you can participate by finding a 9/11 community service project in your area at http://911day.org. |
Make the Call to Save Service on September 15
As Congress returns to Washington and resumes discussions about the 2012 budget, they will also begin to identify $3 trillion worth of cuts to our nation's budget.
With so much at stake, we must make a strong and compelling case that national service is a smart investment that generates jobs and empowers communities to rebuild in these tough economic times-and funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service and for AmeriCorps should not be cut.
We need you to reinforce this message by calling 1-855-US-SERVE on September 15th.
