Breaking ground on M.L. King i Memorial Continued from page 2A press and the government for his work. But that is not important now, he said. "Dr. King spent his life fighting the wounds of the nation’s original sin,” he said. ‘This man gave his life to serving others.” The ceremony, conducted in an area off the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River and adja cent to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, was presided over by journalist Soledad O’Brien and televi sion and radio commentator and host Tavis Smiley. Thomas J. Hilfiger, principal designer of the Tbmmy Hilfiger Group; Gary L. Cowger, president, General Motors North America and Oprah , Winfrey, president/CEO, HARPO Inc., was among the speakers from corporate America who donated millions of dollars to the building of the memorial. Dr. King’s oldest daughter, Yoknda, gave a stirring speech on the purpose of her father’s life. Tf you notice the first three letters of the word ‘Tjng,”you will notice that the word is Idn’,” she said. TVIy father was a king, but he labored at the feet of servants. This was perfect for Darling because while in Cleveland, she was involved in various community services. Although Darling is yet to actually buOd a house .since her internship started, one project she is determined to excel within Habitat is rais ing money for its annual holi day card program. The fes tive holiday-cards can be sent to friends, families and clients. 'The donation cost is $10 or more per card and the pro ceeds goes towards building homes for people. The cards are sent to everyone that you list and all those receiving cards will know that you have made a donation in their honor to help build a home. The deadline for Habitat to receive mailing lists for the Holiday Card pro gram is December 15. Darling says that some of the future homeowners with Habitat for Humanity volun teer and hand write labels and addresses for this project. Last year. Habitat raised $27 thousand for the holiday card program; Darling wants to exceed that by at least $10 thousand this year. Although Darling admits to not having the construction skills to actually build a home, the folks at Habitat assured her that she would do just fine. And even though Darling had to refresh her computer skills, she was ready to jump into her new position with Habitat. “I was truly excited. I was a little nervous,” said Darling about her new role. However, the folks at Habitat remedied her butterflies. She says she’s surroimded by a good group of people at Habitat. “They love and have joy in what they’re doing,” Darling said. Although Darling has vol unteered most of her life,, working for Habitat has been different. “I get a better appreciation for (volunteer ing),” she said. Bert Green, executive direc tor of Habitat Charlotte stat ed on the WNBA website, “This unique partnership with the Charlotte Sting has been a true inspiration to our volimteers as well as home- owners,” Even though basketball is Darling’s current career, it isn’t the only one. “I don’t want basketball to be my whole life,” she said. “I want to be established.” Established for Darling means completing her novel, staying involved in sports/marketing and work ing on her hair care line for active women. Darling is always thinking of all of her possibilities and talents outside of the court. She wants to be able to pro vide the best future for her AA PRIMECARE Medical Center two sons and daughter: finan cial and otherwise. T want to be one of those women who can donate $i0 thousand dollars to organiza tions like Habitat for Humanity. If I could do that, I would be set; I’d feel great.” If you would like to donate to Habitat for Humanity's Holiday Heart Card program, please con tact Helen Darling at hdar- ling@habitatcharlotte.org.
