MLK Day of Service
In honor of Dr. King’s birthday, HandsOn River Region has
planned an afternoon of service on Monday, January 20 to benefit several
area agencies. Volunteers will meet at 12 noon at That’s My Child at
2414 Lower Wetumpka Road for a hot dog lunch and then disperse to work
from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm with one of the participating organizations.
Several of the projects are filling up, so register today at http://volunteer.handsonriverregion.org/need/detail/?need_id=480000
Also:
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Grand Parade is an annual event that
honors Dr. King’s dream for unity, freedom, social and economic
equality, and justice.
Line-up for the Grand Parade will begin at 11:00 a.m. at Troy University - Montgomery. All community and civic organizations, churches, daycare centers, fraternities, sororities, dance groups, step teams, cheerleaders, bands, and school organizations are invited to participate. Floats, cars, trucks, motorcycles, and walking groups are welcome.
Hats off to The Montgomery Advertiser for publishing a series of photos from The Alabama Department of Archives and History showing Dr. King's likely last visit to the city before his assassination in April of the same year.
