GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT CLINTON
 We're only two months into 2010, but what a year it's been so far. I'm feeling great, and happy to be back at work, dividing my time between our Foundation's ongoing projects and relief efforts in Haiti.
This month, our Alliance for a Healthier Generation celebrated the progress we're making in fighting childhood obesity, and in the month ahead, we'll be gearing up for the third meeting of CGI U in Miami in April. Even students who can't make the meeting can apply to receive grants for innovative projects.
You can read more about all of these things and more in this month's newsletter. Thanks again for all your continued support.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
