Keeper of the Dream & Annual Meeting

Please join us for our Annual Meeting & Keeper of the Dream awards presentation.

We will report on the past year's challenges and successes, present the 2026 Annual Report, bid farewell to retiring trustees and welcome new trustees, and celebrate employee milestones.

The meeting is immediately followed by the Keeper of the Dream awards, which are bestowed annually on those whose outstanding commitment and contribution to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center most embody the ideals of Dr. King.

This year we honor:

• Gail Jacobs, Keeper of the Dream
• Newport Mental Health, Keeper of the Dream - Community Partner
• Liz Davis, Content of Character award

We look forward to celebrating the Center in community with you.
