In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, nearly a hundred volunteers at the University of Kentucky organized and participated in a day of service on Friday. They went out to a dozen different charitable organizations in Lexington, cooking, cleaning, and providing help wherever needed. Samantha Morrill brings us this audio snapshot of the day, which began in the Worsham Cinema on UK’s campus. Volunteers chatted and enjoyed a catered lunch. Before they headed out to their different sites, Kentucky Senator Reg Thomas addressed the students and gave them some volunteering advice they can use year round.
