Mother's Day at PATH Achieve

We've been privileged to plan dinner on Mother's Day at PATH Achieve since we began volunteering there.  This year, I think it would be a lot of fun to take a few grills over to PATH and go all out with an outdoor bbq -- not burgers and hot dogs, but ribs, chicken, links, wings, and tons of sides.  We need to plan some games for kids, as well as activities for the kid in all of us.  We'll also do some fun giveaways for the moms.  So mark Sunday, May 11 on your calendar.  It will be a great way to celebrate a special day.

Remembering

From Dr. King's last speech, delivered on the eve of his death, April 3, 1968, in support of 1300 striking Memphis sanitation workers:

It's all right to talk about "long white robes over yonder," in all of its symbolism. But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here. It's all right to talk about "streets flowing with milk and honey," but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can't eat three square meals a day. It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preachers must talk about the New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do.
