NO NOON MEETING	Jan 20, 2025	In Observance of Martin Luther King Day Reflectiion on MLK’s Vision As we celebrate MLK Day, let’s take time to think about the important ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He wanted everyone to be treated equally and fairly, no matter who they are. He spoke beautifully about breaking down the walls of hate and building a world where we all get along and respect each other. His dream is not just something to remember; it’s a call to action for us to carry on what he started. This day is the perfect day to promise ourselves that we’ll make our our communities fair for everyone. Let’s use today’s memories to motivate us to appreciate our differences, stand up to what’s wrong, and work hard to create a place where everyone is valued. In simple terms, Dr. King taught us to treat people right, based on who they are, not how they look. This MLK Day, let’s remind ourselves of that lesson. It’s up to us to make sure his vision isn’t forgotten. Each of us can work to make our community a better place for everyone. That’s how we keep Dr. King’s dream alive.
