 President's Bush's Call

to `Remember 9-11 with Service'


WHAT:       The Entrepreneur's Foundation of North Texas (EFNT) is
            hosting its inaugural community service day event, Freedom
            Day: United We Serve. This event will unite EFNT
            stakeholders and colleagues in service to honor those
            whose lives were forever changed by the terrorist attacks
            in the United States on Sept. 11. 2002 Freedom Day: United
            We Serve is a response to President Bush's goal for every
            American to volunteer at least 4,000 hours of community
            service over their lifetime. In a message last Saturday to
            the nation, President Bush called on all Americans for a
            "September of Service" to honor the victims of the Sept.
            11 terrorist attacks and said the response to his 4,000
            hour call to service had been overwhelming.

            Stakeholder volunteers include CEOs, CFOs, COOs and
            employees from more than 10 North Texas local technology
            and service companies, who will be working at Camp Summit,
            a camp in Denton, Texas, county that provides residential
            camping for children and adults who are physically
            challenged, developmentally delayed and dual sensory
            impaired (deaf/blind).

WHO:        A top-ranking military official will kick-off the events
            and acknowledge this tragic event with a moment of
            silence. EFNT sponsors include: Major Sponsors -
