Special to The Sun

The Evesham Youth Advisory Committee hosted a day of Service on Jan. 19 to honor the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King on the holiday named for him.

This year’s celebration also featured a reenactment to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth, a performance by the Cherokee High School choir, poetry readings and group discussions. In the spirit of service, attendees also made hygiene kits for the needy and wrote inspiring messages on cards that went to Evesham seniors citizens, among other service projects.
