Campaign Kick Off Plants Seeds of Success
Valley United Way officially began the 2011-2012 Community Fundraising Campaign on Tuesday, September 27 with a great reception at Jones Family Farms & Winery in Shelton sponsored by Prudential Annuities.
It was a warm, friendly evening attended by a large crowd of community leaders. Campaign Chair Joseph Pagliaro Jr. introduced his cabinet and announced a goal of $1,150,000 for this year's campaign. We want to thank Jones Family Farms & Winery for being such great hosts and Prudential for sponsoring the event.
