Martin Luther King Jr. Celebratory Potluck Event Postponed- Continue to Participate in the Week of Service!
MLK Committee celebration potluck event Postponed Until Further Notice.
A future date will be announced, but it has not yet been determined.
Mayor Talisha Searcy will emcee this potluck event, looking to Dr. King as a beacon for these times. Ward 4 Councilmember Kurt Gilbert will be our keynote speaker, addressing Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy. A local Girl Scout troop will perform an excerpt from Dr. King’s “I have a Dream Speech” and Blair’s chorus will perform several songs in his honor. This is a potluck event, so come early if you are bringing food. You are encouraged to volunteer in the community on this special day. Then come to the potluck for solidarity and hope for our present and future. If you would like to volunteer, reach out to Shana Fulcher: Fulcher@gmail.com.
