Greetings!
| Welcome to our March e-newsletter. This month we have been processing agency applications for funding and are beginning work on summer fundraisers, including our online auction. We hope by next month at this time you will be able to hang your Live United t-shirts out in the spring breeze like in the photo above--but until then, enjoy these lingering wintry days and check out the United Way March e-newsletter!
Thank you, as always, for your support!

March Corporate Leader - Bosch Packaging Technology
| |
Bosch Packaging Technology of New Richmond was one of United Way St. Croix Valley's top corporate contributors during the fall 2011 campaign season. Altogether the employee pledges totaled $10,700 and the corporate gift was nearly $5,000 for a grand total of approximately $15,700.
Bosch's history begins in the early 1870s as a flour milling business in New Richmond. When the company began to produce and sell puffed wheat and rice cereal in the 1930s, they were able to invent a rotary sealer. This started Bosch's transition into packaging machinery. Since then, Bosch has continued to diversify and now provides packaging machinery, training, service and support to the world's leading manufacturers.
Thank you for your support!
See you next month!
