Last Monday was Martin Luther King Day and I was out volunteering with my family and my son’s friends.

My wife Susannah organized a cleanup event in our town, El Dorado Hills when she could not find any opportunities to volunteer locally. Here’s what Susannah had to say about it:

“In honor of Martin Luther King and his brave and inspiring work, we turned today’s day OFF into a day ON of volunteering. Jaxson and his buddies spent the morning on the New York Creek Trail in El Dorado Hills cleaning up what humans have left on this beautiful nature trail. They collected two bags of trash. Sadly there was a ton of trash too deep in the water to collect. Please take your trash with you when you leave this gorgeous trail!

We struggled to find an MLK volunteering event in our own town. So we created this event ourselves. If you can’t find a volunteering opportunity today perhaps a local park clean up could be a possibility!

Thank you to Dr King and his family!! Let’s all be better to each other and do more in our communities in his honor!”

I commend Susannah for being such a “go-getter” and creating this cleanup event! Hopefully her efforts can spur more people to volunteer in the community as well as inspire El Dorado Hills to create more volunteering events in honor Dr. King.
