Starting an exciting, transformative year

Let’s kick off the New Year with a thank you. Thank you to everyone who donated to our holiday campaign in November and December. With your help, we raised $15,000 to support our programming. We said we needed your help to bring back all the dots, and as you can tell, the dots are all there.

In fact, you can see there are a few extra dots in the logo. As we begin 2011, we invite you to join in our 20th-anniversary celebration. We first started serving the Charlotte community in 1991, and 20 years later, we are looking forward to serving you 20 more!

We are going to celebrate our 20th anniversary with events all year long. The first of those events is January 17, when we will host our MLK Service Forum at Grady Cole Center from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. At the MLK Service Forum, we will honor the life and ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., with donation-drop offs, a volunteer-recruitment fair and on-site service projects. The MLK Service Forum is part of our MLK Week of Service, which starts January 15 and will feature more than 60 service projects across the city.

Keep reading our blog and following our Twitter feed (@HandsOnCLT) for more updates on the MLK Service Forum and the MLK Week of Service. For all you Twitter users out there, the hashtag for the Service Forum is #mlkserviceforum.
