<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display: inline;">The City of Columbia encourages residents to honor Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy and his call to service by volunteering for a litter clean up on February 11 (postponed from January 14.) Volunteers are invited to the Rainbow Softball Complex in Cosmo Park at 10:00 a.m. to pick up supplies and receive a cleanup assignment. Volunteers may pick up litter in Cosmo Park, along the Business Loop, North Stadium, Creasy Springs Road or may take supplies to pick up litter along the streets or in parks close to where they live.<br /><br />The City of Columbia will provide cleanup supplies, including bags, gloves and safety vests and will arrange to have the filled bags of litter picked up. Volunteers are also welcome to arrange a trash pick-up on another date convenient to them.<br /><br />The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is a national program to make
it "a day on, not a day off" to honor Dr. King who said, "Everybody can be great because everybody can serve."</p>
For more information about the MLK Day of Service and other ways to volunteer with the City, please contact Jody Cook, Volunteer Program Specialist, 874-6271 or <a href="mailto:jody.cook@CoMo.gov">jody.cook@CoMo.gov.<br /></a></div>
