Volunteer Opportunity
Location: Miles City, MT Posted by: Miles Community College Multicultural Club
Start: 01/19/2009
End: 01/19/2009
Opportunity Description: On January 19th, 2008, the Miles Community College Multicultural Club will celebrate the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday and participate in the national Martin Luther King Day of Service. To honor King’s memory, the Miles Community College Multicultural Club plans to show a documentary called Citizen King at the Miles Community College.
Citizen King* is an in depth documentary that looks at the contributions and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The film encompasses King’s life from 1963-1968 and focuses on his fight for equality and his struggle against poverty.
King left not only a legacy of fighting for civil rights, but also fought to make sure that people had the dignity of living without hunger. Thus, we ask the community to bring one canned good as a price of admission to the film showing. All goods collected will be donated to the food bank.
Refreshments will be provided at the film screening. The showing will begin at 6:30PM in room 316 of Miles Community College on January 19th. For more information please contact Robin Gerber at 406-874-6193 or Everet Yi at 253-222-4715
*Subject to change
Days: Monday
Tasks for Volunteers: There are two ways to get involved in the event.
Either bring one canned good as a price of admission to the film showing or bring food to the event to be served as refreshments.
