House with clouds by Brian Nash Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 24 $600

The Meaning of The King Holiday by Coretta Scott King is described as follows on thekingcenter.org website: The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example — the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership.

Were you involved in a service project yesterday for MLK Day? Our city organizes a group that provides free house maintenance and repair for our neighborhood’s needy senior homeowners each January. Last year, approximately 1,200 volunteers contributed over 11,300 hours of time helping 33 senior households during a 3-day weekend project. If you participated in a project in your area, we’d love to hear about it!
