Lorie Garwood
2011 United Way Campaign Chair
December 12, 2011 -- UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN AT 68%
“Currently the 2011 United Way campaign is at 68% or $341,757 of our $500,000 campaign goal, states Lorie Garwood, Campaign Chair. It is always a little rough getting those
last dollars in, but we continue to work hard to reach our goal. I would like to thank and congratulate the following campaign divisions for meeting or exceeding their goals:
Convoy, Harrison Township, Liberty Township, Pleasant Township, Ridge Township, Tully Township, Venedocia, and York Township, City Government, and County Education.
Mayor Louie Ehmer and Auditor Martha Balyeat treated the Municipal Court and the City Administration (Mayor, Safety Service, Income Tax and Auditor’s office) to lunch at Wild
Willy’s. A challenge was issued to all departments that the department with the most participation based on number of employees would be treated to lunch. Annette Balyeat, United
Way staff, provided homemade cupcakes.
We have a few company campaigns that have not yet reported so we are anxious to see what their totals are. If you have not mailed your contribution, there is still time to do so,
continues Garwood. You can still get that 2011 tax deduction!
Please consider supporting the 27 local agencies that make up the United Way. I am thankful and grateful to all those individuals, companies, industries, and businesses that have
contributed to the 2011 campaign”.
