From Our Colorado News:

Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy attended a White House event at the invitation of First Lady Michelle Obama, in recognition of the city taking part in the Let’s Move! Cities, Towns and Counties program.

“The trip was wonderful, and it was really inspiring,” Murphy said.

“The first lady came in and gave a really rousing speech.”

Murphy said the speech event was pretty intimate, with only about 40 to 50 people representing cities from all over the country. According to Murphy, Obama said that 330 cities have decided to take part in the Let’s Move! Cities, Towns and Counties Program, which represents around 60 million people.
