President Barack Obama has announced that there
will be a national day of service on January 19, 2012:
- Created to honor
the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- National Holiday with a focus on serving our communities
- Opportunity for organizations to educate their communities
- Opportunity for community members to get involved
- Annual call to action that was reactivated during President Obama's first Inaugural Celebration

Local Democratic Committees are
encouraged to host an event for the National Day of Service. There are a number
of options here:
- Host a specific stand-alone service
event.
- As a committee send a team to a
service event.
- Add a service component to your
January meeting.
In 2009 the Westborough DTC had a
service event that was a food and clothing drive at a member's home. We had
coffee and refreshments available and folks were encouraged to socialize. It was
very successful. The publicity provided by OFA allowed us to reach people beyond
our usual group.
If you have a project that is ready to
go, please send the information, including the limit of number of volunteers
that you can accommodate, to Jayson Joyce at JJoyce@2013PIC.org 508-776-7476.
