MLK day events 2009

The Portland Press Herald has a list of a few events happening around Portland in honor of MLK Jr. Day, and UNE is offering some interesting looking speakers as well. Bowdoin offers an annual children's program in honor of Dr. King at the Bowdoin Library at 10:00 am. There is also a movement to engage people in MLK day as a Day of Service (President Elect Obama has called on people to serve, as well). Some service opportunities in the Portland area are posted here -- perhaps we could think about creating a service project as a school community in the future?
