Each Janurary, America honors Dr. Martin Luther King, one of the pivotal leaders of the civil rights movement. Dr. King is best known for his evocative speeches, especially his “I Have a Dream” speech. He is also known as an advocate for people to get involved in volunteering in their communities. On Monday, January 18th, there will be many special opportunities for Lake Stevens real estate owners to volunteer and make a difference to our city. This is a great way to honor the legacy of Dr. King, by doing something concrete to help bring about full justice and equality.
United Way of Snohomish County is sponsoring the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. Both teens and adults are needed to make the day a success. To join, go to the United Way’s website and register as a volunteer. You can find opportunities close to your home. If you’ve been thinking of getting involved in community work, this website will help you by bringing together many of the groups and organizations in one place. Choose something that matches your skills and personality. Help organize a community yard sale; spruce up a senior center; tidy and organize a recreation center for adults with special needs. These are just a few of the opportunities available near Lake Stevens real estate to make this “a day on, not a day off”.
