City of Conroe Driving for Dollars
|
| City of Conroe Fire Chief Ken Kreger got revenge on the City of Conroe Police Department this week when the Fire Department entry won the first heat of the Executive Chair Race at city hall. Ten city employees raced desk chairs around a track set up on the top floor complete with racing flags waved by Employee Campaign Coordinator Dana Shaw.
Fire Chief Kreger lost the contest between the fire and police departments to see who would raise the most money for Montgomery County United Way. By not raising the most money, Fire Chief Kreger had to wear a giant chicken suit and direct traffic at the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival held last weekend.
Other activities planned are a Book/Movie/CD sale, Bake sale, Wear your Favorite Team Jersey Day and Wear a Halloween Costume to Work Day.
The City of Conroe's goal is to raise $17,000 for MCUW. To find out how to set up a corporate campaign for your company, please contact Dale Grey at 281-292-4155, ext. 227 or email dale@mcuw.org |
