ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER - SHRIVER APOLOGISES FOR PHONE VIOLATION

SHRIVER APOLOGISES FOR PHONE VIOLATION

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER's wife MARIA SHRIVER is making amends for chatting on a cellphone while driving by donating the device to charity.
The California governor vowed there would be "swift action" after snappers caught the state's First Lady breaking the law and posted the shot online earlier this week (13Oct09).
And now Shriver is delivering on her husband's promise and apologising for the violation by giving an old mobile phone to a good cause.
She says, "I'm sorry. I will be donating my favourite old cell phone to my Women's Conference partner Verizon through their HopeLine program that helps domestic violence shelters. I invite anyone else who wants to recycle their old phone to join me. That's my version of swift action with a higher purpose."
