Campaign 2013 is underway and Campaign Chair Gayle Alexander of Denton Publications, Inc has extended an offer to anyone in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties who would like to get involved and become a campaign volunteer to please contact the United Way office (563-0028). The volunteer opportunity can be a very enriching and rewarding experience and your services are very much needed as they work towards meeting the $775,000 goal.

John Bernardi said “Our mission is to be a leader in community partnership building and to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another.  We are really excited about the Campaign this year and we have assembled a tremendous group of people who are committed to the success of the Campaign.”
