Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities!

Hello All!

Are you thinking about volunteering this semester? We have some great opportunities coming up, so look no further than our office, Facebook page and our monthly newsletter!

This upcoming Friday and Monday, there are two volunteer opportunities for Martin Luther King Jr. Day that are quite fun and a great opportunity to meet fellow Metro students!

If you are attending the MLK Breakfast, please join us afterwards outside the turnhalle, to create signs and banners for the MLK Marade on Monday. We also hope you will join us for the Marade, on Monday January 17th, 2011 and wear red! We are meeting on Monday just north of the Thatcher Fountain located just north of 17th on the City Park Esplanade. Participants will congregate at the Dr. King memorial site in City Park at 9:00 a.m. The Marade begins at 10:00 a.m. with participants marching together to Civic Center Park, where cake will be served. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. yearbook will be signed again this year at the Colorado State Capitol Building, and program festivities are expected to end at 1:00 p.m. If you have any questions please contact Kumella Aiu, our Office Coordinator at kaiu@mscd.edu or (303) 352-7134

or come to our office located in Tivoli 243.
