Portland Willamette Valley Chapter of Jack and Jill of America
Jack and Jill National Day of Service
“A Day On, Not a Day Off”
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Project Description:
Have your family spend Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School giving back to the community through service. We will be helping the school in their community garden and with other projects around the school (possibly painting, if the weather permits).
Important Info:
FREE t-shirts will be distributed at the January chapter meeting for early registrants. Extra t-shirts may be made available for purchase if the order can be received prior to the event. The cost to purchase the t-shirts is $15 and orders will be taken at the chapter meeting.
Prospective Moms: This event is open to prospective new moms and their family members who are interested in attending. Please feel free to share this Evite.
Attire: The work you will be doing may be indoors or outdoors so please dress for the weather in case you are outdoors. The t-shirts that will be worn will be black. Please plan on wearing a turtle neck or something underneath the t-shirt for warmth so that the t-shirt will be visible when we take pictures.
Hot Chocolate: We will be going to Natural Grocers after the event for free hot chocolate and cookies so I hope you can join us for that.
