United Way Update
The total for the College was $ 3478.65 which included
$ 625.00 from the special events held - Tacky Tie Tuesday and the
Silent
Auction & Luncheon.
Anne Swan won the
day off with pay which was drawn from the people that made
a pledge to the United Way.
The total from the College and the Department
was $10,009.65. The fund raising committee for the United Way
campaign was made
up
of Dept. and College reps. I would like to thank all those
involved on the committee for there time and effort. I would also
like
to thank all those involved with distributing pledge sheets for
their
respective departments. It was the help of these volunteers
that made the Campaign the success that it was.
