'Day On' encourages service

By Elvin Yavuz · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 8:06 p.m.

The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday meant many Bloomington businesses were closed and IU students didn't have to wake up early to attend classes. But for many, the holiday wasn't just a day in a long weekend. Instead, it was a time to put King's words into action. Since 1998, the IU and Bloomington communities have joined forces to create a weekend of service. Thousands of people participated in the weekend, "A Day On … Not A Day Off." Volunteers went to the 50 participating agencies and work sites to donate their time. This year, more than 400 people volunteered, said Darrell Ann Stone, associate director of student activities.
