Huron United Way Campaign in Full Swing

Have you noticed the new Erie County United Way thermometer in front of Huron’s City Hall? The 2010-2011 campaign is in full swing and the Huron Campaign is at 70 percent of its $30,000 goal.

The Erie County United Way supports 22 local agencies that work for the people in Erie County, so giving to the United Way fund is like helping one out of four people right here in Erie County, according to Huron co-chairman Ben Lindsley. Huron’s goal is a part of Erie County’s overall goal of $750,000, which is presently 50 percent complete.
“We are very proud of the wonderful campaign chaired by Alyson Wilson this fall at BGSU Firelands Campus,” Lindsley said. “The facility and staff exceeded 100 percent of their $5,000 goal. We truly appreciate the support from the Huron community, but we need a little more help to reach our goal, which extends to the latter part of January.”
Huron  co-chairmen are Lindsley and Wayne Foster; and campaign workers are Carole Dreffer, Dee Hartley and Dave Clark.
