Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration and Day of Service—Wofford College Spartanburg, SC
January 17, 2011
The plan for the day is to meet in the Denny’s building downtown for free breakfast, t-shirts, and a speaker at 9:00 am. Volunteers will go from there to the service sites, and we will provide directions. Most sites will be done by lunch, but some might run over. If you need to be done by noon just let me know when you send me your information. The service site leaders will have a very brief evaluation for you to fill out at the end of the project, so please fill that out before you go.
