In her first visit to Colorado since her husband clinched the nomination, Michelle Obama made a stop in Denver today and greeted representatives of the DNCC and leaders from Denver-area volunteer organizations who are coordinating Delegate Service Day on Wednesday, August 27. Today, the DNCC announced that Michelle Obama and Colorado First Lady Jeannie Ritter will co-chair the effort.

On Delegate Service Day, delegates from across the country will volunteer at dozens of community service projects in and around Denver, ranging from reading to children to park cleanup and tree care, to supporting projects that aid military families, an area of special focus for Michelle Obama. Delegates are strong leaders within our Party, and we hope their work in Denver will lead them to get involved in or recommit to service upon returning home to their communities and help to inspire millions more Americans to lives of service.

On hand to greet Obama on a picturesque Denver summer day were: Jeannie Ritter, First Lady of Colorado; Erin S. Egan, Colorado Director, Democrats Work; Jim White, Manager of Community Affairs, Volunteers of America – Colorado Branch; Julie Rodriguez, Director of Public Programs, DNCC; Jason Owens, Associate Director of Public Programs, DNCC and Kristy Judd, Executive Director, Metro Volunteers.
