United Way reaches 93 percent of goal!
Results from Campaign 2006 continue to roll in this
week. We received results from Bryan Ford Lincoln
Mercury, Winzeler Stamping, Plastech, Williams
County employees, and others. Campaign
total-to-date amounts
to $326,508 or 93.3 percent of our $350,000 goal.
Leadership giving for this campaign amounts to
$132,832 or 88.5% of our leadership goal. Co-chairs
Tom Herman and George Brown are working to secure
the outstanding gifts.
We're looking for that company that will put us
over the top for Campaign 2006! Could you be
that company? Make sure your company totals are
returned to the United Way office as soon as
possible so we can reach our goal.
If you haven't run your campaign yet, it's not too
late to start!
Contact the United Way to find out how.

Greetings!
Welcome to the final issue of As The
Thermometer Rises for calendar year 2006.
We're getting close to our goal, so read on to
catch up with all the news from the past two weeks.

| The move is complete - now we're unpacking! |
| |
Well, this week has been a very busy one for us here
at the United Way. We were busy packing and moving
to our new office within the One Stop Center. Now,
all of our "stuff" is moved... we're just trying to
get all unpacked.
Our new office is in the southwest corner of the One
Stop Center at 228 S. Main St., Bryan. We're still
in the same building, just a much larger location.
We have switched locations with the WEDCO office.
This will provide us with more room for our United
Way to better serve the needs of our community
Feel free to stop out and say hello (or drop off
campaign results - hint, hint!). We will be closed
on New Year's Day, but will reopen on Tuesday,
January 2nd at 9:00 a.m.

| Time's running out for a 2006 tax deduction! |
| |
If you'd like your United Way contribution to be
tax-deductible for your 2006 taxes, you need to
hurry! Send a check (dated by December 31, 2006) to
the United Way at P.O. Box 525, Bryan, OH 43506. Or
drop one off by 4:00 PM on January 3rd and we will
credit it to the 2006 tax year.
Contact us at 419-636-8603 if you have questions
about United Way. Contact your tax adviser for
questions relating to the IRS regulations and
deductions.

| Get your results in ASAP! |
| |
It's very important that companies with results
outstanding get them in to us ASAP! There are two
reasons for this.
First and foremost, payroll deduction pledges made
during Campaign 2006 are withheld starting with the
first paycheck of 2007. If the payroll office and
United Way don't have your results, there is a
chance we will not receive the entire amount the
donor wishes to give.
Also, we have scheduled our Annual Meeting and
Awards Luncheon for February 13, 2007 (save that
date!). We will need to begin calculating campaign
awards very soon, so it is important that we have
all results so that every company may be considered
for an award.
Help us close the book on Campaign 2006, drop your
campaign results off at our office (228 S. Main),
mail them to P.O. Box 525, Bryan or call us at
419-636-8603 for a pickup. Thanks, in advance, for
your help!

a certain dollar amount to United Way.

| Plastech employees pledge $3,278 |
| |
The employees of Plastech have had a very difficult
year. They've had to deal with the proposed closing
of their plant. By working together, they were able
to keep the plant open and a part of the Williams
County community.
With all the adversity they faced, employees at
Plastech contributed $3,278 to the United Way
appeal. Although this was down from last year, we
are so thankful that United Way giving was continued
this year. We look forward to Plastech being here
for a long time and our relationship continuing to grow.
Thanks to all who contributed!
