Hands On eNewsletter – January 2013

Dear {Friend},

This weekend is a big salute to service. With the White House announcing a National Day of Service on Sat., Jan. 19 and Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Mon., Jan 21, SCA is making a big call out to our members, alumni and friends to join us this weekend in a day of service to our communities and to the planet.

SCA will be in DC at the National Day of Service at the National Mall. We’ll also be holding service events across the country. You can share how you are serving the planet by entering to win our #iserve photo contest.
