Campbellsville University will be celebrating Earth Day at 10amET/9amCT, on Monday, April 18, 2011 by planting trees at the little log house, 503 N. Columbia AV, Campbellsville, KY. The public is invited to the event.



John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations, and his wife, Cathy Pence Chowning, have provided serviceberry trees to be planted by students and members of the community.

"Once again Campbellsville University will pause to symbolically raise the banner of the importance of environmental stewardship and sustainability," Chowning said of the Earth Day event. The planting of trees and flowers will be led by four members of the current freshman class. Chowning said that the rite is a reminder of those simple acts of service that promote earth stewardship."CU students, as well as the entire campus community, are increasingly aware of the importance of being good stewards of God's creation," Vice President Chowning said.Tony Young, mayor of Campbellsville, and Eddie Rogers, Taylor County judge/executive, will be reading a proclamation at the event and will also be helping with the planting of trees and flowers.

Two Campbellsville freshmen, Steven Yospur of Friendswood, Texas, and Mailey Young of Bowling Green, KY., will be giving a welcome and invocation. Yospur and Young are Freshman Year Experience student leaders who helped to organize this event.

Tanner Scott of Portland,OR, and Alyssa Barker of Frankfort, KY, both freshmen who also helped in the planning of the event, will help plant the trees and flowers, along with Amy Etherington of Versailles, KY, Freshman Year Experience mentor and senior at CU, and Brenda Tungate, associate professor of biology.
