Happy 94th bday to Martin Luther King Jr! We had a great time celebrating his legacy at the Day of Service organized by Governor-Elect Josh Shapiro at the Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life in Harrisburg. The inaugural team did a terrific job organizing hands-on projects for us to share some laughs and I learned how to make no-sew blankets! Big thank you to the Shapiro-Davis team for the warm welcome and their support for IRG in Erie.
