Students volunteer for annual Fall Work Day
 The
Joe Mertz Center of Huntington University tied together campus and
community Oct. 21 during the organization’s annual Fall Work Day.
Since its early years, Fall Work Day has averaged approximately 425
volunteer hours a year. This year’s 222 volunteers, up from 186 in
2005, gave 777 hours of community service. Groups went to places
such as Huntington’s Head Start to help out with yard work—pulling
weeds and raking leaves. Another group went to the YMCA to assist
with organizing and cleaning rooms.

Herald-Press honored with service award
 The

County since its founding,” said Travis Holdman, president of the
foundation. “The newspaper’s support of Huntington University in
covering academic achievements, sports and the arts over the years
has benefited the University and the community.
