Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Activity

In January, there was a lot of promotion for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to be a "day on, not a day off." In honor of this we decided to give a small presentation to the children at the Intersection here in Columbia. Melanie [Cheney] gave an excellent presentation about how we serve with the Missouri Stream Team Program as assistants, and about all of the good things that stream teams do for our waterways here in Missouri. The kids seemed to be really interested in possibly getting out there to pick up trash or even to get to go out on a boat ride on the Missouri River. Afterwords, we took the kids to a back room so that they could paint a rain barrel that we had brought [donated courtesy of MRCN]. The rain barrel will be used to catch rain water at the Intersection for they garden. All in all it was a great time with the kids learning a little about service and water quality.
