Event Calendar

The second annual MLK Jr. Community Day of Service will be on Monday, January 21, 2020, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at West High School, located at 610 N. Badger Ave., in Appleton. It is free and open to the public.
We hope to use this day as both a community-wide day of helping others, but also an opportunity to share the culture of Dr. King. This will include a community march, a free sampling of traditional soul foods, cultural presentations and exhibits, musical performances, and volunteering to support local nonprofit organizations.
Our community march will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the main entrance of Wilson Middle School, 225 N. Badger Ave. and will end in the auditorium of Appleton West. Our participants will be inspired by student dancers, steppers, and singers. We will learn more about Dr. King through videos and presentations, and hear directly from our students.
Nonprofits, community agencies, and volunteer organizations will be set up in the West Small Gym ready to share their missions and offer opportunities to volunteer at a future date or just to learn more about how they help our community.
