This Saturday, January 14, RCFL is holding a very special Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event to kick off its “Dream Because You Can” campaign! From Saturday through the end of March, we want to inspire our neighbors in North Minneapolis to turn their dreams into actions. We’ll be having lots of community events focusing empowerment and health for ALL of who are– mind, body, and spirit.
.

The kickoff event, “Dream Because You Can… We Did!” is this Saturday, January 14,  from 10:00 am-4:00 pm. Venture North Bike Walk & Coffee is giving away 20 tickets to the 20th annual “African Americans in Science” event at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis– so reserve yours now by sending  an email at live-it@venturenorthbwc.org!

A light brunch will be served in The Living Room at RCFL from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, where we’ll hear a brief “We Dream So We Are” presentation. Then we’ll hop on a Venture North bus from the Redeemer campus to the Science museum!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day festivities will continue on Sunday, January 15, at Redeemer Lutheran Church. The community will come together to lift up the legacy of Dr. King through worship at 10:00 AM, followed by the Annual Soul Food Dinner at 1:00 pm. At 2 pm, the diverse group of singers and musicians of the “I Have A Dream Choir” will present spirited musical selections alongside other Northside choirs and powerful spoken word performers in this program of inspiration and unity.

Events in February will concentrate on African American history, while March will highlight women who changed history, coinciding with Women’s History Month. We hope you join us for all of these fabulous events– let’s turn our dreams into reality in 2012!
