The Great Pumpkin ? ? ?

I guess this means "Autumn" is officially here. Another great work of art from Snitily-Carr. Snitily-Carr developed the graphics for this year's "We Live United" campaign. That would include all the posters, table tents, thermometers. . .and now pumpkins.

News on the campaign? Let's see what I know. . .

1) The City of Lincoln has really stepped up their game with this year's Charitable Giving Campaign. More to come on how they're promoting the campaign this year. For right now, I'll just say that Elvis may indeed still be alive.

2) Wells-Fargo Community Support Campaign showed participation growth from 30% last year to 76% this year. Super result!

3) The United Way thermometers are posted all over town. I pass the one at 70th & Pioneers (at Union Bank) regularly. It's showing we're at about 52% of goal. The mercury will continue to rise as campaigns turn in results.

Hope those of you in the middle of your campaigns are having fun, and raising money! The need for $$$ is greater than ever -- and so is the need to have fun. Make sure to work both into your campaigns.

Thanks for your support of the United Way! Dave
