United Way Needs Your Help
* As discussed on our Town Hall Meeting last night on Fox Meridian, our local United Way needs your help. The United Way helps numerous local organizations...Boy Scouts, Hope Village, and Boys and Girls Club (among many others) all receive funding from the United Way. When Katrina ravaged our area, many of these organizations were stretched thin financially. This financial burden worked itself up the chain to the United Way. Without a financially able United Way, our community would suffer immensely.* If you are financially able and willing, the United Way could use your help. Officials with United Way say that one hour's worth of your salary per month is a "fair share." Seems like a very "fair share" to pay to insure that our community's well-being remains intact.
* If you are able and willing to help, please do. You can donate via the internet at www.unitedway.com or via telephone at (601) 693-2732.
* 1% of your donation will go to the national office of United Way...Which means that 99% will stay right here at home and go straight to the organizations that sorely need them.
* I'm off for the weekend - heading to Mobile, Alabama. I hope you have a stress-free and fun weekend with your family. Try to stay dry!
