Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Banquet honors community work

The Classic Center hosts the 38th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Banquet at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The banquet will give community service awards to the Hands on Athens Program, which maintains and repairs historic homes in Athens, and the Chosen for Life Foster Care Initiative, which works to improve the lack of foster homes available for foster children in Athens-Clarke and Oconee counties.

The banquet will also give more than $10,000 in scholarships to high school seniors. One student will also receive the Rev. David H. Nunnally Community Service scholarship. Maurice Daniels, a former dean for the University of Georgia School of Social Work, will be the event's keynote speaker.

Tickets are $40. For more information or to buy tickets and make reservations, call Marvin Nunnally at 706-338-9301.
