Martin Luther King Jr. Day is almost upon us, and with it unique opportunities to volunteer in the community. As promised, we give you the 12th Annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. The day grew out of national legislation aiming to create a day of citizen action in honor of Dr. King’s work. And it grew, and grew, and grew. Philly’s celebration is the largest in the nation and we're gearing up for record numbers of volunteers this year, which isn’t surprising given how much brotherly love we have lying around. So if you’re lucky enough to have off next Monday, consider giving over a few hours of your vacay to the greater good.

The Penn and Drexel Cycling Clubs are co-hosting The Arkema Group Schuylkill Challenge Bicycle Race in Fairmount Park this weekend. (Note that the title of that last page we linked to predicts the winner as Penn - we wonder if the folks at Drexel, not to mention the other schools, have noticed that yet.) It's actually a series of bike races and time trials taking place in various places and at various times on Saturday and Sunday; for more details, check out the link above, or download the PDF of the flyer here (beware - almost 3MB).
