George H.W. Bush to host service forum

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama will conduct a forum on community service hosted by former President George H. W. Bush at his library center in Texas.

The event is based on Obama's "United We Serve" challenge to Americans to engage in meaningful, sustained community service, the White House said in a news release. The event also will celebrate the contributions of more than 4,500 Daily Point of Light award winners, and will honor Bush's bipartisan legacy of service and civic engagement.
