Fundraiser for Friends of MLK Interpretive Center -
Friday December 6th at 5:00 pm
Imagine this. Its March 2021. A class of fourth graders from Wilson Elementary School sits in rapt attention viewing a video about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Afterwards they work together on a group project on the civil rights movement—one that later earns them an award. The place: the MLK Interpretative Center in Davenport, Iowa.
The Friends of MLK invite you to attend a lively, informative “FUN-RAISER” meant to make moving visits like this one a reality. The fun-raiser is a joint fundraising effort of the Friends of MLK and the History Advisory Board.
At the Fun-Raiser you will learn more about the center, the proposed Martin Luther King Memorial Plaza, and the center’s important educational purpose and current projects. Besides introducing and giving attendees a tour of the center, we will outline and explain our current funding challenges. Please join us. Come for fun, door prizes, refreshments, and good company.
Please join us and learn what we are planning and show your support for the MLK Interpretive Center. Download the flyer below to help us spread the word about this event.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP by Friday, November 29th. RSVP by email to fomlk.davenport@gmail.com or call (563) 726-9226.

Partners of Scott Co Watershed
Partners of Scott County Watersheds will be hosting an in-depth Snapshot training on Thursday, December 12 from 5:00-7:00PM at the Davenport Public Works building (1200 E 46th St., Davenport, IA).
The Snapshot Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring events have been taking place since 2003. Three times a year, groups of volunteers test about 50 sites in Scott County for nitrogen, phosphorus, chloride, pH, temperature, and turbidity, among other parameters.
Our volunteers come from many different educational backgrounds and age groups, and no previous experience is necessary! This training is a chance for those who have been thinking about volunteering to get comfortable with the water quality test equipment procedures, as well as for experienced volunteers who would like a "refresher course" before our Snapshot events get underway in the spring.
This event is free to attend. Please RSVP to info@partnersofscottcountywatersheds.org to reserve your spot or to ask questions.
