New York Mills, MN

January 21, 2008, the day honoring Dr. King’s legacy is fast approaching.  Dr. King’s legacy is one of service to others “Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve!”  This philosophy ties in well with the Horizon program mission to use local resources to eliminate poverty.  Together we can all make a difference and improve the lives of people living in our communities by supporting each other and building upon what we already have! 

Girl Scout troop 30408 is serving that day by serving lunches at the NYM Senior Citizen Center, and reading and singing and sharing with the residents at the Elders Homes.  I volunteer at Share House on occasion to help the residents with their babysitting needs to attend support groups.  Service comes in many shapes and forms, so pick something you love and share it, or pick something that concerns you and do something about it! 

On Monday, January 21, 2008, HONOR THE DREAM, MAKE IT A DAY ON, NOT A DAY OFF.
