Obama to promote community service on Friday

WASHINGTON — Fresh off a fundraiser in San Francisco, President Barack Obama heads to Houston to promote community service.

The president speaks Friday afternoon at a Points of Light forum on public service at Texas A&M University at an event hosted by former President George H.W. Bush.

The event honors the 20th anniversary of Bush's volunteer service movement, first mentioned in his 1989 inaugural address.

Obama returns home to Washington after the forum.
