Apparently for some, it's for the honor of meeting First Lady Michelle Obama:

San Francisco Supervisor Sophie Maxwell and other African American leaders in the Bayview are not at all happy about how this week's visit by first lady Michelle Obama was handled.

"One look at the picture on the front of The Chronicle says it all," Maxwell said. "The people in the neighborhood had to climb fences to even get a look at what was going on.

"The people I have talked with felt very disengaged and somewhat offended," Maxwell said.

But hold up!

Not so, said Jackie Williams a longtime Bayview gardening and youth program activist who worked at the event.

Williams, who learned only Sunday that Obama was coming, said the call went out weeks ago for volunteers to help with the playground construction. That's when she signed up.

"They knew about it, honey," Williams said. "They just didn't know the president's wife was going to be the there."

Thanks to Michelle Obama Watch for the low-down on how volunteering can lead to sharing tools with FLOTUS and being too busy to help out can lead to a big case of the grumbles. They even have some amazing photos from the event too!

Now everyone should be on high alert! You never know where FLOTUS will show up next. The food bank? The playground? Beach clean-up? And if she doesn't show up, try to have solace in the fact that you helped your community out.
