UNITED WAY Fundraising Effort

Many of you are already aware of the various efforts the U.G. has put into place to benefit United Way. A NEW fundraising initiative is the creation of a cookbook compiled of recipes submitted by U.G. employees to be professionally published and ultimately sold for a purchase price of $10.00.

 

This is a fun way for you to get to share your culinary favorites with your fellow employees and benefit a worthwhile cause all at the same time. Consider it a great gift idea!!

 

Deadline for submission of recipes is Monday, March 31, 2014.  Details for submission are defined in the attached fliers. However, please know that even a simple e-mail with the recipe details or a scanned copy sent to Lesley Newton of the Health Department will suffice.

 

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!! LET'S MAKE THIS A REAL SUCCESS!!

Based on information provided by both the UG's Public Works Department and the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), we are able to provide motorist living in Wyandotte County an update on road and highway projects.

 

This information can be useful to prepare individuals, commuting to and from work, with early warnings on minor delays. This also encourages motorists to use alternate routes due to land and ramp closures.
