October 2013 Luncheon
The United Way of Skagit County…
Serving this community since 1963, first as United Good Neighbors, then as United Way. We have board members from every area of the County and representing many businesses and industries.
… focuses community investment…
Over 6000 individuals give to United Way of Skagit County. Most give through their workplace via payroll deduction; however a growing number are making regular donations via the online tool to make one-time or monthly payments from their credit card.
… to create sustainable, positive change in people’s lives.
Many non-profits are partner agencies with United Way of Skagit County. They provide crucial life-skill training to youth and adults to help them become productive members of our society. Many of these non-profits also provide food, shelter, and medical care when needed.
Through a vast network of volunteers and community service agencies, United Ways throughout America help meet the health and human-care needs of millions of people every day.
Followed by the Sedro-Woolley Council Candidates, all eight of the candidates have been invited and we can not confirm at this time that they will all be there but we do hope they will be present. Those who have accepted Brenda Kinzer, Brett Sandstrom, Elizabeth Fernando, Germaine Kornegay, and Rick Lemley conditionally as work allows. We hope to hear from Tom Storrs, Chuck Owens, and Tom Swett before the start of the luncheon.
