Veterans Appreciation Luncheon Nov. 12

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College community will hold its annual Veterans Appreciation Luncheon on Monday, Nov. 12.

This year's speaker will be the Rev. Terry Swan, who is dean of the chapel and a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.

The luncheon begins at 11 a.m. CT on Nov. 12, in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.

The luncheon is open to veterans and their spouses or a guest, along with veterans' widows and widowers. There is no charge to attend the luncheon, but guests are asked to RSVP by contacting the Lindsey Wilson Alumni Office at alumni@lindsey.edu or (270) 384-8400.

This is the 10th consecutive year Lindsey Wilson has held the luncheon. The event is sponsored by the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni Association.

Lindsey Wilson started the luncheon in 2003 as part of the college's centennial celebrations. The annual event is not held on Veterans Day so that it does not conflict with community celebrations on that day.

"This is a very small way for the Lindsey Wilson community to show to those individuals who have served our nation during both times of peace and during times of war," said LWC Vice President for Student Services and Enrollment Management Dean Adams, who is an LWC alumnus. "The luncheon has become one of the more popular events on campus because faculty, staff and students enjoy taking one day a year to thank our veterans and their family members."

The Lindsey Wilson College Veterans Appreciation Luncheon will be held at 11 a.m. CT on Monday, Nov. 12. The luncheon is free to all veterans, veterans' survivors and a guest. Guests should RSVP by contacting Lindsey Wilson at alumni@lindsey.edu or (270) 384-8400.
