Board of Directors President's- Update: November 1, 2010

Well here it is November already, what a great Fall we have had this year. Along with the harvest for the agriculture community, it is our time to really ramp up our campaign as we head to the end of the year and holidays. This year we set a goal of raising $350,000 for our 17 agencies which will be distributed by a group of Volunteers in May of next year.

Without these funds many of our agencies would not be able to provide our community with the recourses many are in need of. If there is a business or individual out there that has not been contacted by the United Way please give us a call at 308-635-2522 and we will come to you and show you how important it is that we give when we can as there are many in need.

Back in September, thanks to our great community, we proceeded with our 13th Annual Rubber Duck Dash.  Due to the VERY HIGH water level in the North Platte River, we went to our alternate plan and it worked very well thanks to our many volunteers. Even though we could not be in the river we still sold a record amount of ducks and we had a very happy winner of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro donated in part by Team Chevrolet.

We at United Way would like to thank you for your support in the past and we look forward to continuing helping those in our great community who need our help, so please continue to support our great agency and together we will make our community even stronger.
