Chairman Message
When I sat down to ponder the theme for this year’s United Way campaign the words of Bruno Mars came to mind… “We’ll find out what we’re made of when we are called to help our friends in need.”
When we think about those words, it reinforces that our community is one of the best places to live in the world. We have all experienced the trials and tribulations over the past year. In some form or fashion we have all been called to help friends in need, and you have responded generously!! It seems to me that the more this community is tested the stronger we become. Throughout the past and into the future, thank you for contributing to the United Way. As a community, that you for stepping up and declaring “You can count on Me! Sincerely,
Board Of Directors
