“I have a dream today” A champion of nonviole “I have a dream today” A champion of nonviolent activism, Martin Luther King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Born Michael King Jr. in 1929, he was renamed Martin Luther King Jr by his father in 1934. Martin Luther King Jr was a gifted orator. He gave his first public speech regarding racial inequality in 1944, his junior year of high school, in an oratorical speech contest sponsored by the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks in Dublin, Georgia. He won first place in the contest. Martin Luther King, an astute student, passed the college entry exams and was accepted into Morehouse College at the age of fifteen. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology at the age of nineteen, then obtained a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951 from Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. King also attended classes in philosophy at Harvard University as an audit student in 1952 and 1953. He obtained his Ph.D. In 1955 from Boston University. We remember a lifetime of dedication, hard work and commitment to the world community. #makeadifference #americanhistory #education #nobelpeaceprize #legacy #americanlibertiesmedallion #presidentialmedaloffreedom #congressionalgoldmedal #community #santaynezchamber
Consider a donation on January 17, in honor of Bet Consider a donation on January 17, in honor of Betty White, see repost below. Repost from @syvhumanedawg using repost_now_app - We joined the #BettyWhiteChallenge! Betty White was an animal lover and advocate who dedicated a great part of her life to animals. She was a true animal lover who promoted pet adoption and gave generously to numerous animal welfare organizations throughout her life. We are thankful, as are all of the animals she saved, that Betty White had a heart for animals, and used her platform to advocate on their behalf. The Betty White challenge urges both animal lovers and Betty white lovers across the nation to donate to shelters and rescue groups in honor of her one hundredth birthday on January 17th. Your gift will help Betty White’s legacy live on through the lives of pets in need. To donate in memory and an honor of the great Betty White go to: https://igfn.us/form/5fBXSw RIP Betty White 💞🐾

There’s still time to get a letter off to Santa! There’s still time to get a letter off to Santa! 📬 A very special mailbox is on the corner of Sagunto and Faraday in Santa Ynez that goes directly to the North Pole! 📸 Bring the kids to deposit their letters, and take a photo with the giant Santa. BTW 🎅 broke free of the ropes during the wind and rain storm last week! The staff at @mechanics_bank in Santa Ynez saw him floating down the street, braved the storm, and rescued him! After the @sychamber retrieved poor Santa, who was completely deflated, he was restored thanks to Dawn from @finchandfernhomeandgarden and her husband Franco @sanysidroranch who graciously donated and then repaired Santa. Franco also built and donated the mailbox! Small town living at its finest! Head over to Santa Ynez and take a walk around, you will enjoy this casual country community! #santaynezvalley #boutiques #coffee #dining #community #letterstosanta #thingstodoinsantaynez #awayfromthecrowds #finchandfernhomeandgarden #sanysidroranch #smallbusinesssupport #santaynezchamber
