Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. annual luncheon set

In light of the words from Dr. King’s sermon “The Drum Major Instinct” delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Feb. 4, 1968, “Who Are You Serving?” is the theme for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. luncheon to be held on Monday, Jan. 20 at 11:45 a.m.

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.

You don’t have to have a college degree to serve.

You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve….

You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.

And you can be that servant.”

— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The event, sponsored by the Northern Chautauqua County Juneteenth Celebration Committee and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Luncheon Committee will be held at the Clarion Hotel, 30 Lake Shore Drive East, Dunkirk.
