The Lake Martin Area United Way will hold the organization's annual Day of Action event later this week which will provide Tallapoosa County residents a chance to do some good in the form of community service. 

Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Courtney Layfield described the initiative as an effort to encourage community participation in service projects. In the past, many projects have involved painting hallways in schools, cleaning up playgrounds and cleaning city streets.
