Greetings!
Celebrating Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Each year, on the third Monday in
January, people in the United States pause to honor the life and dreams of
Martin Luther King Jr., we remember a powerful voice for the pressing need
for peace and the reordering of priorities. He had a vision of a better
world, and he spent his life dedicated to making it a reality. And he did,
indeed, make the world a better place leaving a legacy of tolerance,
equality, and respect.
In observance of MLK Day
ACC offices
will be closed on Monday, January 15, 2007.

Celebrating Diversity |

MLK
Day is a special holiday. While holidays are generally meant to give us
time to rest and enjoy our friends and families, Martin Luther King Day is
meant to be a day ON, not a day off. MLK Day provides a chance for us to
explore opportunities in our neighborhood, and get recharged and
recommitted to the ideas of peace and justice.
In support of MLK Day, ACC is participating in a Cultural Diversity Day
at Hartland High School. ACC will be presenting to over 1800 high school
students on tolerance, equality and respect for the Arab World along with
other races and cultures.
