News Tidbits in Chelsea, Michigan - Jan. 2006

This page contains some of the interesting news I encounter in the course of keeping this site updated. I do not intend this to be a primary news source, but the topics seemed worth sharing nonetheless. For other sources of news for Chelsea, see the links at left.

Chelsea's celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On Monday, January 16, Chelsea City offices are closed in recognition of the holiday and Chelsea School District has the day off. In addition, One World One Family will be offering afternoon activities for young people and evening activities for everyone.

The afternoon activities will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Street Education Center cafeteria, and will include a movie (Emmy Award winning, "The Color of Friendship," rated G), a craft project, stories and a snack. 

The evening activities start at 5.30 pm with a symbolic march that begins at the Municipal Parking Lot on Park Street. The march will progress through the downtown area, ending at the same lot. Individuals, area groups and organizations are encouraged to come with flashlights, banners, and signs to honor and remember the original Civil Rights protests.

Entertainment, food, and educational programs will follow, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Washington Street Education Center.

This year marks the fifth year that OWOF has sponsored this event.  For details, email One World One Family or click to download a printable flyer (PDF file). .
