Hey everybody,
I'm excited to announce we've finally set a campaign goal: $2.15 million. You read that right: $2,150,000. That's about a five percent increase over last year, but I know we can handle it.
The United Way Board of Directors approved it, and now we gotta' get out there and raise it!
Settin' the goal was a relatively easy to process to work with. Our campaign cabinet first met and decided on what we felt like the goal should be. We talked about big numbers, small numbers, whether to continue where we’re going. We ultimately decided together that $2,150,000 was that number we felt we could raise and that could truly make an impact. We took it to the board and they graciously approved it after a few questions about whether we could raise that money because obviously the board wants us to be set up to be able to succeed. The board’s vote of confidence in the campaign cabinet - in the team that’s been put together - says that they’ve got the faith in them to raise that money.
So, here we are with a goal of $2.15 million. Last year, the campaign goal was $2 million, and we were able to meet and go above it. This year, we plan on doing the same!
Hang on, everybody! It's gonna' be a fast ride!
Blog you later,
Dave Bennett

This is United Way Campaign Chair Dave Bennett, and welcome to my blog. When the folks at United Way and the communications committee asked me to do this blog, I said sure, but I had one question - What’s a blog? Sounds to me like I needed to say, “Bless you!” I’m not too up on this computer stuff, but they told me what it was and here I am. So I’m gonna’ blog you my thoughts as we visit each community partner. Doesn’t sound legal, but Sandra promised it was okay. So here goes.
