My Monday

[mobeau69]

1. Get up and see if trump croaked.

2. Watch any MLK documentaries on the tube and his “I have a dream” speech.

3. Do a bone and then watch the Irish.☘️

This is subject to change if 1 comes to fruition.

What do you all have planned?


Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid, neither be dismayed.

MLK Day of Service

In honor of the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., national parks will waive entrance fees for everyone on Monday, January 20, 2025, as the first fee free day of the year. It is also a day of service when thousands of volunteers participate in service projects across the country, including at national parks.

Find volunteer opportunities inspired by this day of service or visit a park to learn more about the history of Dr. King and the pursuit of civil rights in America.

MLK Day of Service

“The greatest birthday gift my husband could receive is if people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds celebrated the holiday by performing individual acts of kindness through service to others.” - Coretta Scott King

MLK Day of Service is a defining moment in volunteerism, as Americans across the country step up to make communities more equitable and take action to build the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream. While Dr. King believed this community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.

This is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Many national parks traditionally host a variety of service projects that people can sign up for as volunteers.

2. I was going to go to the MLK breakfast, for starters, but it is forecast

to be-7 when I would have to leave. I am not fond of frostbite.

Documentaries, cuddling with my kitty, reading, cleaning my winter boots in case I need them next week for anything.

4. I'm speaking at a brunch in honor of MLK

about the women of the 6888 battalion, who trained at Fort Des Moines. Then working at a food bank.

8. Were you in the 6888? Was that started for WWII?

10. Wow, that is wonderful! Would you perhaps be willing to post a copy

of your speech for us? I think it would be wonderful.

Have you seen the movie yet? Your thoughts?
