COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Our annual community fundraising campaign continues for the 1998 year. By now a UMC volunteer/captain should have contacted all employees and delivered the campaign information envelope.

As of Tuesday, October 28th, we have reached 73% of our United Way goal for this year's campaign. Thanks to all of you who have responded.

A reminder to everyone to please forward the pledge form back to the Business Office even if you choose to make no contribution to this year's campaign. All pledges should be turned in by the end of October, so we are soon wrapping up the campaign. Thanks again to all of you.
