PAY IT FORWARD !!!!

During his presidential campaign Obama promised to create a "Craiglist for Service". Well a coalition of nonprofit groups and others have done just that. They have been quietly bringing this very idea to life for months. The new website called ALL FOR GOOD is currently managed by Google and will provide a wide spectrum of volunteer positons and events from all over the nation. Once again it's name... ALL FOR GOOD.

Talk about taking the ball and running with it. I LOVE IT !!!!!
