Remembering Martin Luther King Luncheon
United Way of East Central Iowa and the Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids, will honor 19 area students at the annual Remembering Martin Luncheon on Monday, January 19, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel, 350 First Avenue NE, in Cedar Rapids. The keynote speaker for the event is Akwi Nji-Dawson, Language Arts Instructor and Director of The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success.
The luncheon is open to the community. Cost is $9 per person and reservations must be made by Wednesday, January 14. If you would like to attend, please RSVP at 398-5372, ext. 36 or jsweeney@uweci.org.
The luncheon commemorates the life and vision of Dr. King by recognizing student leaders who demonstrate his honorable characteristics through their volunteer work, school attendance and positive behavior. One student from each middle school and high school in the Cedar Rapids area is selected for this award by their school administration. Click here to view the MLK Luncheon poster.
Also, from the desk of Robin Tucker: we want to remind you of an event at 7 p.m. at St. Paul's UMC in Cedar Rapids:
The St. Paul's UMC event is not a Luncheon and no reservations are requested. Celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Holiday and day of service.
