Public Service - The West Wing

I am STILL working my way through the book "What's Next?" about "The West Wing" television series.  It's really long and this is the second time I had to borrow it from the library.

The thing that most surprised me about this book--that I absolutely missed when watching the series--is that "the West Wing" was about service. (Apparently the phrase "What's Next?" was also prominently used throughout the series, which is why the book is so aptly named. I can see it now as I re-watch it, but I missed it the first time around.)

A lot of the characters in the show were created to highlight what a good, moral, approach to public service can look like.

The thread throughout the book is strong, as well, and it highlights the service interests of the actual actors. In fact, the actors interact with each other outside of work, dedicating personal time and energy to each other's particular charities and causes.

This got me to thinking. If there is one thing we can do to make this world a better place, it is to get involved with an organization whose cause we support.

You might want to consider becoming part of the volunteer workforce, which makes such a difference in our communities. They impact policies, --and lives--all because good people care.

Let's set about making our country better today, however we can, wherever we are.
