Make A Difference for Pleasanton Festival

The community is invited to the FREE Make A Difference for Pleasanton Festival
2014. The event will take place from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 18, in the Community Room of the Pleasanton City Library, 400 Old Bernal Avenue, 
Pleasanton, CA.

The community service expo theme is “Get connected, stay connected, through 
community involvement,” encouraging festival visitors to sign up for local 
volunteer opportunities. Opportunities will be available for adults, teens, and 
families.

“The Make A Difference Festival 2014 will take place on the Day of Service that 
precedes Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,” noted W. Ron Sutton, CEO of ACCUSPLIT 
Make A Difference Programs, co-sponsor of the event. “We have formerly tied 
the event in with National Make A Difference Day in October, but we wanted to 
emphasize that doing good deeds should not be limited to only one day per year. 
Come explore the possibilities!”
