i'm looking for a way to celebrate/act on the National Day of Service on Monday. I went to USAservice.org, but it seems most of the close-by events are all full up. Bizarre and wonderful.

Anyone know of other activities happening in the neighborhood that would take two orphan would-be volunteers? should davis_square start an event of our own?

Perhaps some elderly folks...

May need the snow/ice on their sidewalk removed...

jd_science, I think if you look harder on that site, you will find some local opportunities that are not yet full.

For a celebration, I would recommend attending Somerville's MLK celebration 10am-noon at the high school Realizing the Dream--Dr. King's Legacy of Community Service" [USAService.org link (http://www.usaservice.org/page/event/detail/dayofservicejanuary19/4jgpl)] and [official city information (http://www.somervillema.gov/alert.cfm?alert_id=164)]

National Day of what?

If you are unemployed, you can give back

Wait, the country that put me in public school and produced the Boston accent?

Yup! Don't you feel like working for free would set you free? :)

Howz about making peace/celebratory/diversity art in the snow for everyone to enjoy, especially near elderly housing, schools, and hospitals? Or make a community meal and invite your neighbors to enjoy it with you.
