1000 Valentines for the Troops

UPDATE: George Delaney posted his photographs of the event on Flikr. Don’t miss it!

The event held today in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service was a huge success!

1000 Valentines for the Troops was organized to create valentines and banners to send to the men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It snowed all day yesterday, but when the day broke this morning, it was clear and bright. A beautiful day!

Thanks to Save Our Neighborhoods, the City of Fall River, CD REC, BOLD, and Arts United.

We had 20 student volunteers sent by Curry College in Milton, MA. They drove all this way on roads not yet fully plowed to join us and help out. What great people!

Thanks also to Jeff Carpenter for his great artistic vision and Al Lima for his incredible contributions and immense moral support.

Enjoy the slideshow!
