Daylight Saving Time – Check your smoke detector batteries also

Tickets

Nov 1 @ 1:00 am – 1:00 am

In addition to changing your clocks, we remind you to use these dates to check your smoke detector batteries also. Although many modern detectors have 10-year batteries, it’s a good practice to check them anyhow. After all, smoke detectors can fail for other reasons.

Martin Luther King Day

Tickets

Jan 18 all-day

Excerpted from Wikipedia:

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. King’s actual birthday is January 15.

King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed three years later. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.

People are encouraged to reflect on the works of Martin Luther King Jr. and to volunteer their time to help others in need. Some places you can check about volunteer opportunities in this area are: JustServe.org, Oakgov.com, and Lighthouse of Michigan.
