[Ohio-Talk] The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service

Tue Jan 17 03:28:19 UTC 2023

So sorry that I could not be with my NFB Family because I attended our
community celebration.  On Sunday the 15, I went to the community choir that
I usually sing with but could not this year.
There were 105 singers from 31 churches from Dayton and Cinnati, OH.
This past evening I went to the MLK Dinner which I was invited to attend
with our Human Relation Council for the City of Dayton.
This is my MLK Celebration.
God Bless you all.

Subject: [Ohio-Talk] The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service

Ohio members and Friends,

The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service is a defining moment
each year when Americans across the country step up to make communities more

equitable and take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King's
dream. 

While Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was possible, he acknowledged
and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service
to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. During
the last quarter-century, the MLK Day of Service has grown, and its impact
increased as more Americans embraced the idea that citizenship involves
taking

an active role in improving communities.

On Monday, Jan. 16, and the days surrounding, all are invited to:

. engage with your community and create constructive action;

. act on Dr. King's legacy of social justice and equity; and

. recommit by volunteering to serve others.

You can clean up a public space, mentor a young person, or help those who
are food insecure.

Together, we can strengthen ties to our communities and one other while we
address critical issues that divide us.
