Bishop Gene Savoy Jr., Chairman, Northern Nevada Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Committee, called for the formation of the organizing committee to plan January’s Martin Luther King, Jr. events, which will include the annual Community Memorial Service and Caravan. The memorial service will be held on Sunday, January 19, 2014 at 3 p.m. at Second Baptist Church. The caravan will take place on the morning of Monday, January 20, 2014.
Pastor Michael Randle and Bishop Savoy have met and are requesting help in forming the organizing committee. This year they would like to see the annual Martin Luther King Jr. events to be expanded and to encompass more people in the greater Reno-Sparks community. They are asking for individuals who are interested in serving on the committee to let them know as soon as possible. The first organizing meeting will be held on Thursday, December 5, 2013 at 12:00 noon at the Second Baptist Church on Montello Street to discuss theme, program, recruiting a keynote speaker, media coverage, and other topics.
