Sorors,

What are your plans?
I will be joining my chapter members and our UGs at the same Substance Abuse treatment facility from last year. We had a wonderful time last year with the clients. I'm sure the experience will be rewarding for all parties involved.

GCers, how will you spend your MLK Day Off, if you have the day off?

Afternoon All:

I plan on attending our National Founder's Day Observance in Atlanta. Events include a holiday tribute to MLK and a service summit.

Meanwhile, my chapter will hold its annual MLK Prayer Breakfast for the community at large.

Haven't decided yet. My chapter will probably volunteer at a mission downtown. I planned an event for my clients that day, so I will probably work. But, since I'm off that day...it's volunteering. LOL!!

I know that should be wonderful!

I'm going to attend the NFD in Jackson, Mississippi (if the Lord says the same). I believe it's in '06.

Indeed!! I am truly looking forward to attending. :D

I'm not off that day. I start my new job on MLK's Bday.

That's a blessing. :D

This year I will actually be out of town visiting friends. If I'm back in town on Monday, I'll find some service to get into. Most likely, I'll be on the road.

I will be at the M.L.K. walk w/ my lovely Sorors and attending the program that immediately follows. It's usually cold out so I'll have to bundle up.

My grad school has a King Day Celebration that I attend every year. This year will be my first year as an alum! Last year we had Tim Wise, a social justice advocate talk about power and privilege and white anti-racism and then we had a dialogue between people of color and white students facilitated by the Society of Black Student Social Workers.

This year we are having an Asian man who is committed towards social justice, especially racism and healing. I have more information on it, but they haven't posted it to our website.

Dr. King's picture hangs above my desk and every day I celebrate his life through my profession by working towards social justice and dedicating my life to empowering others and eliminating hate in the world. It may be my humble attempt, but at least I am one voice that might make a difference!

There are many events on campus to Honor Dr. King but I plan to participate in the Project Volunteer Program. Hopefully, later that evening I will be able to attend a Read-A-Thon in his Honor and participate in the reading of his writings and/or speeches.

I will be volunteering as Host with some of the students from both Tri-C and CSU for the Cleveland State University/ Cuyahoga Community College MLK celebration Monday Morning. The Guest Speaker is The Rev. Marvin McMickle,Phd. of Antioch Bapist Church.

The Iota Chapter will be visiting a nursing home and attending Alpha Phi Alphi, Omicron Chapter's MLK dedication ceremony.

We had a GREAT morning. Chapter members, undergraduates, and the clients had a WONDERFUL time celebrating the legacy of DR. King and the legacy of each person present.

Good day
 

I had to work, but I just got back from assisting another SoCal chapter with its King Day project. We helped pack food boxes for the Orange County Food Bank in Garden Grove.
