Malvina Farkle work wins PRIDE award for LWC Award presented at cookout at the Roadside Park, 2310 Hwy 55 South RD, Columbia, KY for Adair Fiscal Court Fall Pride Cleanup, October 23, 2010 Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Cindy Lackey News from PRIDE Columbia, KY - Lindsey Wilson College's Malvina Farkle Day has earned southern and eastern Kentucky's PRIDE Environmental Education Project of the Month Award. The college started the annual Malvina Farkle Day in 1996 to inspire students to make service a permanent part of their lives. It is named for a mythical student and employee who represents a spirit of fun and community service. This year, Malvina Farkle Day was celebrated on Sept. 22. The college canceled classes and closed its offices for the day so that students, faculty and staff could participate in service activities at more than two dozen community organizations, including schools, churches and social service agencies. The participants returned to campus for lunch and an afternoon of fun activities. Some of the Lindsey Wilson volunteers picked up litter. The areas they cleaned included Bull Run, Hwy. 55N, Hwy. 80 and Tebbs Bend. "We see all of Columbia as part of our Lindsey Wilson family, and we view Malvina Farkle Day as a wonderful opportunity for students to experience that sense of community, doing something selfless for someone who is not part of the campus," said Jayne Hopkins, Director of Student Activities for Lindsey Wilson College. "After they leave college, wherever the end up living, we want them to see community service as an integral part of their life." "By building a day around service, the college is giving students the opportunity to discover the satisfaction of making a difference in their community," said PRIDE's Mark Davis. "That's the first step in developing a life-long commitment to service. This is the kind of project that other schools and organizations, even businesses, can copy if they want to encourage a spirit of community pride and volunteerism." "Lindsey Wilson is always giving back to the community by volunteerism," said Lisa Lee, the Adair County PRIDE Co-Coordinator who nominated the college for a PRIDE award. The PRIDE Environmental Education Project of the Month program rewards creative, effective ways of showing students why and how to care for the environment. PRIDE is a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental cleanup and education efforts in 38 counties of southern and eastern Kentucky. The PRIDE web site is www.kypride.org.
