Results from Campaign 2006 are beginning to stream
in more quickly. This week, we received a reports

Is your company campaign running? Do you need a
United Way and/or agency speaker? Are you promoting
the Dolly Parton Imagination Library as part of the
campaign? Do you have any special events planned?
Make sure to let the United Way know how we can help
you run a painless and successful campaign.

| Is leadership giving a part of your campaign? |
| |
Did you know that donations to the Thomas M. Herman
Leadership Giving Society made up almost 40% of
Campaign 2005? This year's leadership giving total
to date is $92,897 or 62% of our $150,000
leadership goal.
Individuals and spouses who contribute $500 or more
to the United Way of Williams County each year are
enrolled as leadership givers.
Please promote leadership giving within your
company. For as little as $9.62 per week, someone
can make a difference in a huge way.

We included a publication entitled Special Event
Sparks! in campaign packets this year.
It was our hope that companies would take a
"three-legged stool" approach to the campaign this
year - a corporate gift, employee payroll deduction,
and special events.
Many companies have used some of these ideas to help
"beef up" their campaigns this year. Other
companies have used their "tried and true" special
events.
Whatever your special event or other Best
Practice, we want to hear about it. Please email us with your story, and include
a photo or two if applicable. By doing so, you can
help other companies succeed in their campaigns.
