Grassroots Leadership Network of Marin Update

The Martin Luther King Holiday 2008 was definitely a "Day On, Not a Day Off" in the North Bay. Hundreds of community members gathered in Marin City at the 10th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration, hosted by Grassroots Leadership Network of Marin, for a day long event that included a community forum on "Race, Community, and Leadership", community awards, and many local talents and musical performances that uplifted the spirits for a year of social justice work. Get a little bit of the uplifting spirit of the celebration by taking a look at the pictures at the pictures at www.maringrassroots.org /mlk2008" target="_blank">www.maringrassroots.org /mlk2008
