Another great "First" (First Lady that is).  This morning at THEARC First Lady Michelle Obama with Executives from Walmart announced Walmart's new Healthy Food Program.   This initiative is a part of the First Lady's "Let's Move" campaign.

The Advoc8te attended the event and will be doing a write up shortly, including pictures and video.  The First Lady is even more beautiful in person.  She spoke with such passion.

Other attendees included ANC Commissioner Charles Wilson, Ward 8 Democrats President (and current At-Large candidate) Jacque Patterson, Councilmembers Marion Barry, Yvette Alexander, Harry Thomas Jr., and Chairman Kwame Brown.

A big "Thanks" to Edmund Fleet and Wil Thomas of THEARC for inviting The Advoc8te to attend today's announcement. It's not everyday a lowly community blogger gets a White House Press Pool pass -- even a temporary one.

I love Congress Heights!
