It's a busy time for everyone as we approach the holidays, and the United Way of the Ozarks' office is no exception. We're right in the middle of our annual campaign, and things are running at full speed. The campaign this year is going very well, and we expect to have some great news to share at our Campaign Celebration.If you would like to celebrate with us, we'll be at the White River Conference Center at 5:30pm on November 27th. We'll have refreshments, great people, and successes to celebrate as we announce our 2012 campaign results. For more information, or to RSVP email us or call 417.863.7700.
As always, thank you for making a difference in our community through Female Leaders in Philanthropy!

On Thursday, November 1st several FLiP Members went to the Ozarks Food Harvest to help pack food for the Weekend Backpack Program.

Thanks to Kayla Benton, Rebecca James, Cindy Norman, Sandra D'Angelo, Louise Knauer, Julie Short, Cindy Howell, Ellen Henderson and Megan Blevins for helping to fill over 600 backpacks with food to feed hungry children on the weekends. Your efforts were greatly appreciated! |
