U.S. Public Service Academy

Chris Myers Asch, who founded the Sunflower County Freedom Project, is at it again. The former Indianola resident is currently working to create a national university with a public service focus. The National Public Service Academy will be for public service what Westpoint or Annapolis are for the military.
Here's the stated mission:

The mission of the United States Public Service Academy is to build a corps of civilian leaders who have the moral character, academic training, and leadership experience necessary to serve the American people honorably and effectively, and who are committed to devoting their lives to public service.

I bring this up because on Friday the 2nd there will be a letter-writing party/information session about the effort from 4:30-6:30 PM at the new Regent Coffee House in Indianola. One of the goals of our MSDI group is to bring together leaders throughout the Delta. With that in mind, this event will definitely be a gathering of some great community leaders (some of whom are working closely with national leaders). If any of you are in the area, please stop by and enjoy the free food and company. I hope to see some of you there!
