LWC Malvina Farkle Day brings community closer together Malvina Farkle Day brings Lindsey Wilson College closer to Columbia-Adair County Community. It was held - couldn't have been missed by anyone in Columbia - yesterday, Wednesday, 10 Sep 2014. By Duane Bonifer COLUMBIA, KY -- Lindsey Wilson College senior Cambry Underwood of Greensburg, KY, had never participated in the college's Malvina Farkle Day until this year. Because she has been a commuter student, Underwood said she had always skipped the college's day of community service. That changed this year when Underwood was one of more than 100 students in LWC's nursing program who took part in the day. "The nursing program thought it would be great for us to get involved in it, and I'm glad they did because it was a great learning experience," she said. Malvina Farkle Day is named in memory of a mythical Lindsey Wilson alumna and staff member who lived a life of service and having fun. Classes are dismissed for the day while students spend the morning working on community service projects. The afternoon includes campus games and activities. Underwood spent part of the day at Adair County Middle School, where she spoke to seventh-graders about how to deal with peer pressure. "It's just great for the school to get all of these students who live here and commute here to get together and do some good things for the community," she said. James Johnson of Russell Springs, KY, one of Underwood's nursing classmates, also spent the morning at Adair County Middle School. He spoke to seventh-graders about drugs and alcohol. "It was an awesome experience, it was very humbling," he said. "It was just good to be able to help teach some students and maybe help them make a life-changing event that will keep them from getting harmed or being in a car accident." Before he dismissed classes for the day, LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. told a packed Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center that the LWC has a strong history of community service, noting the LWC community gave more than 32,000 hours of community service last school year. "It's just a day for us to get out ... and do all kinds of things" for the community, Luckey said. "It's just a reminder to ourselves about how blessed we are and at the same time what a wonderful difference we can make in this community or wherever we are." LWC sophomore Megan Holley of Edmonton, KY, said Malvina Farkle Day is "by far my favorite day on campus." "It's just a great sense of community and get to go out around town. It gives us a sense of belonging to the community, and it's a good way for us to learn more about Columbia," she said. This story was posted on 2014-09-11 07:08:55
