Now more than ever, it is time to come together-volunteering is critically important in 2009. It is time to answer the call for service to our neighbors and to the community. President Obama’s inauguration ushered in a “New Era of Responsibility.” It is time to take responsibility and do what’s right. To rephrase the famous John F. Kennedy inaugural quote, “Ask not what City Hall can do for you, but what you can do for Riverside." I urge you to answer the call.
