Over 200 attend 22nd-annual LWC Luncheon to Honor Veterans

By Venus Popplewell, LWC Director of PR

Lindsey Wilson College honored area veterans on Monday, November 11, 2024, when it hosted its 22nd Annual Veterans Day Appreciation Luncheon. The heartfelt event was held at the Adair County VFW Post 6097, with 203 veterans and their families in attendance.

The veterans enjoyed food provided by the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining and Conference Center and LWC students and staff assisted veterans during the event.

The Joyful Hearts Quilt Guild gave away handmade, patriotic quilts to 17 lucky veterans chosen by random drawing. The members of the local quilt guild worked together over the past year to provide custom quilts for the veterans.

The Veterans Appreciation Luncheon concluded with a piano solo from LWC art freshman Lucy LU from Tokyo, Japan, as well a performance by Lindsey Wilson's choral ensembles under the direction of LWC Associate Professor of Music & Director of Choral Programs Gerald Chafin.

Veronica writes, "Many thanks for the many hands who made the Veterans Luncheon at the local VFW post possible. We went in order to say thanks for our veteran, and he was awarded this homemade quilt from the local Joyful Hearts Quilting Guild. It was a very nice gift, and we followed instructions... the quilt is in use already in our living room. These type of things are what make living in a smaller rural community the best way to live!"
