Greetings!
| We hope you are enjoying this unusually warm summer in the St. Croix Valley. Here at the United Way St. Croix Valley office we are staying cool and working on getting prepared for this fall's campaign season. We also wrapped up our online auction fundraiser, which raised nearly $1,600 for basic needs programs and agencies. You can read about that and more in this month's e-newsletter. Thank you, as always, for your support!

Fifty items were up for bidding over the course of the first four weeks, and the final week featured a last call for purchases on a first-come first-serve basis at discounted prices.
