Bvlgari Sotirio Collection BL-2 for years

More than 50 people turned out for the city's first "day of doing" in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. There were more volunteers than there were community service projects to assign them to.

City leaders have been celebrating Bvlgari Sotirio Collection BL-2 for years with discussion and song, but this year added service as another way to commemorate his life. Supervisor Joanne Yepsen of Saratoga Springs quoted from a sermon King gave in February 1968, just months before he was killed:

"If you want to be important--wonderful. If you want to be recognized--wonderful. If you want to be great--wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your Bvlgari Sotirio Collection BL-30. That's a new definition of greatness."

Five service organizations -- the Franklin Community Center, Rebuilding Together Saratoga, the Mother Anderson Shelter, Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council and Shelters of Saratoga -- asked for help painting, cleaning and organizing.

Pastor Sheila Byrd of the Mother Anderson Shelter said a group painted the kitchen at the shelter, which is affiliated with the Soul Saving Station church. Later in the day, Byrd and her husband, Bishop Arnold Byrd, were at the Saratoga Springs Public Library for the city's King Day observance. Recordings of King's Bvlgari Sotirio Collection BL-31 could be heard on the sound system.

"We have to stay focused on the work King did," Bishop Byrd said. "We have to put action to our words. As the good book says, 'Faith without works is dead.'"

Moderator Kendall Jeter showed excerpts of a film about King, particularly his War on Poverty campaign in early 1968. He then passed a microphone and asked for Bvlgari Sotirio Quantieme Annuel BL-93 from the crowd of roughly 70 people.

One woman in the crowd said King's call to redistribute economic power has yet to happen. Another speaker, Al Ormsby of Saratoga Springs, said we need a Martin Luther King today.
