On Monday, January 19, 2009 the country will be celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Since 1994 this holiday has been a national Day of Service. This year there will be thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds joining together to strengthen communities, empower individuals and bridge barriers in our country.
Thousands of people with one goal, to willingly give of their time to bring about a positive change for someone or something else. Think of the possibilities if this wasn’t just one day a year but instead, once a month or once a week. We have an incredible opportunity to be a catalyst for change. It’s an opportunity that could truly change our communities and the country. I’d love to hear how you’ll be recognizing this day, you can email your plans to volunteer, donate funds or help someone carry their groceries to jlysengen@arthritis.org.
