National holiday

(Jan. 18, 2010) Today, the third Monday of January, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, commemorating the slain civil rights leader whose birthday is Jan. 15. Most governmental offices are closed as are many schools. In recent years it has been de riguer to spend the day in community service in honor of King's legacy.

Many groups and organizations offer opportunities for service for all ages today and throughout the year. Read about them in Recorder Community Newspapers and online in their blogs.
