Over the past months, First Lady Michell Obama has been organizing the "Lets Move" program to help reduce obesity and improve health in our communities.. As an extension of that program she has launched the Lets Move Faith & Communities.

Today First Lady Obama is hosting a special conference call exclusively for nonprofits, community groups and faith based organizations where she will talk about the initiative, provide information on how to obtain resources and tools to support her in the initiative and if time allows she may take questions form community leaders. Conference calls like this are significant because it gives you an opportunity to learn where the White House plans to focus its attention so you can position your organization to partner or obtain funding in the future.

This call is unique because you can actually participate in the discussion and ask the First Lady questions . The call is scheduled for TODAY Monday November 29th at 2:30pm Eastern....don't miss it. If you miss this call it may be months before there is another opportunity to hear from the First Lady and most importantly, you will have missed the opportunity to get important information about partnerships and resources BEFORE everyone else.
