Happy birthday Victoria Faith Yurkanin!

<p>The Luzerne County Community College Student Government Association recently held Be Kind LCCC Day, an effort to promote kindness, at the college&#8217;s campus. A Wall of Happiness was located at the Campus Center. Students and staff were encouraged to write messages of kindness for the wall. Challenge cards were available to encourage others to take part in an act of kindness. Students and staff also participated by writing a letter to a veteran, a stranger or a patient at a children&#8217;s hospital. Shown at Be Kind LCCC Day are, from left &#8212; Leslie Hess, Mountain Top, member, Phi Theta Kappa, LCCC; Mary Sullivan, Swoyersville, director, student activities and athletics, LCCC; Doug White, Plymouth, president, Student Government Association, LCCC; Phyllis Whaley, Kingston, chaplain, BASIC, LCCC; Zoey Spak, Plains Township, sophomore representative, Student Government Association, LCCC; and Trish Dixon, Wilkes-Barre, part-time student representative, Student Government Association, LCCC.</p><style>
