Community
Our campaign volunteer of the year is an individual who has been a true United Way friend, supporter and champion for the past several years.
He first got involved when he chaired our campaign in 2010 and continues to remind the staff and volunteer team that raising money and meeting our goals are important; but what is more important is to remember why we are raising the money and the thousands of lives that will be touched by our efforts. His persistence in helping people understand their responsibility to support their community is remarkable. He is rarely willing to take no for an answer. One of the quotes that he will be remembered for is …. “they said No – but I didn’t accept that”!! David Waugh, our community is grateful for your leadership and support. Congratulations on a job well done.
