MLK Day of Service
:
On Monday, January 15, 2018,
the Town of Lexington will commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with its fifth annual family-friendly day of volunteer activities supporting the under-served. We hope it will be a fun and meaningful day. Last year, almost 400 volunteers made a difference in the lives of more than 2,000 people. It's amazing what a community can do! There will be community dialogues, hands-on projects, and much more.
Temple Emunah and LICA are both supporters of this event, and we hope you can make it!
