Here’s a look at what’s to come:
1.Volunteers will fan out across Northwest Philadelphia on Monday to participate in a variety of projects tied to the annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. NewsWorks will be on hand at a few of those events, including cleanup efforts at a playground in Mount Airy and along the Schylkill River bike trail.
2.The annual State of Manayunk address is set for Tuesday, a day after President Obama is sworn into office. The event, hosted by the Manayunk Development Corporation, gives residents a chance to catch up on the community development organization’s work during the past year and learn what’s in the works.
