Today is a National Day of Service,  Martin Luther King,  Jr. Day. While schools  and many businesses  are closed, the goal  is  for people to do good and serve  their community- to  make today a day on, not off.  Above  is a person, Quaneisha Payne,  serves the Greensboro community daily. Quaneisha, a  graduate of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North  Carolina, now  works for  AmeriCorps  in Greensboro. Based  out of the AmeriCorps office in the Glenwood Community,  Quaneisha helps homeless veterans.

Last  week, Quaneisha  was  voted January Member of the Month  by the AmeriCorps Partnership to End Homelessness. Frequently,  Quaneisha  facilitates opportunities for others  to  perform  community service.  This  past weekend she was working with  UNCG students who were  spending  the day  serving.  The above photo was taken  when  Quaneisha  was  speaking  to students at the Middle College at UNCG,  her alma mater. To  be sure, today,  Quaneisha  Payne will be serving our  community and  inspiring others with her every action.  May we all have her same  drive to bring about positive change.  Thank you,  Quaneisha, for being an inspiration to us all and for making a difference!
