Your Pioneers: Happy Birthday Dr. King!



On January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King, Jr. was born. He was a man of unmatched service, leadership and faith. Today, at such an exciting time in our nation, we must remember his legacy and live the dream. So, set your inauguration plans aside for a sec and make some plans for Monday, January 19th- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service! Make it a Day On! Not a Day Off!!

It's not too late to take part in one of the many service opportunities nationwide on Monday. Check out the National MLK Day of Service website at www.mlkday.gov to find events around the country. For a more local focus, hit up Hands On Atlanta for details about the MLK Summit this weekend.

And for those of you who wait to hear who else will be there before you decide... Don't worry, you will be in good company. The Obamas will be serving on Monday AND the President-Elect is calling YOU to join him!

So let us know, how will the YPs be of service on Monday?
