Arts center invites
people to volunteer
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
PENDLETON — Mem-
bers of the community are
encouraged to make Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. Day a
“Day On, Not a Day Off”
by engaging in volunteer
service.
Pendleton Center for the
Arts invites people to join
them in taking care of some
tasks around the building.
The day of service is Mon-
day from 10 a.m. to noon at
214 N. Main St., Pendleton.
Volunteers can enjoy a free
lunch after the work party.
“We try to make the
day as fun as possible, and
we knock out all the work
we have to do in just two
hours. A large group makes
things even more fun, so
bring a friend and get ready
to clean, paint, and spiff up
the building,” said a writ-
ten statement from the arts
center.
Legislation signed in
1983 marked the birthday
of Martin Luther King Jr. as
a federal holiday. In 1994,
Congress also designated
the holiday as a national day
of service.
Each year, on the third
Monday in January, the
MLK Day of Service is
observed at the arts center,
executive director Roberta
Lavadour said in a press
release. Community mem-
bers help with painting,
cleaning, and spiffi ng up the
old Carnegie Library build-
ing. Lavadour urges par-
ticipants to bring appropri-
ate clothing and a sense of
adventure.
The event has become
one of art center’s largest
one-day gatherings of vol-
unteers — attracting 40-60
people of all ages looking
for a fun way to give back.
The MLK Day of Service is
intended to empower indi-
viduals, strengthen commu-
nities, bridge barriers, create
solutions to social problems,
and move us closer to Dr.
King’s vision of a “Beloved
Community,” Lavadour said
in the release.
The project is open to
anyone, and all materials
and supplies are provided.

arts center at 541-278-
