Rodney Gaskins, left, and Misti Hopkins iron pieces of material for quilt blocks Monday, Jan. 21, 2008, during an AmeriCorp VISTA day of service. Gaskins, executive director of the Fairbanks Rescue Mission and Hopkins, an AmeriCorp volunteer, were helping make quilts that will be given to children and teens. The Martin Luther King holiday was chosen as a day of service around the country as "A day on rather than a day off."
