GNPAL wants to thank everyone that made this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Day of Service, truly, the first step in a Norristown-wide Community Day of Service.
Monday’s diversity was a vivid illustration of Dr. King’s "Dream". It truly was what we should all expect, from all communities, boards, corporations, agencies and municipalities, at every level, throughout the
year...not just on Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday, and certainly not just at GNPAL.
