Welcome to this year's celebration of United Way's spirit in America.

Each of us wants a healthy and positive environment in which to work and play.  At the same time, we recognize that our society is not perfect, that problems do exist.   We know, too, that as individuals, we can do something to help.  Through United Way, our individual efforts count even more.  United Way can shape our individual caring into a powerful force that can bring about a better life for all.

United Way supports a network of services that help people day-in and day-out, all year long.  These services address some very real problems our nation is confronting -- illiteracy, AIDS, teen pregnancy, homelessness, substance abuse, and programs for disabled, abused, and elderly individuals.

United Way is people -- it's about people -- both those that need help and those that help by making all our lives a little better, by contributing to the United Way.

In a short time, you will be asked to support United Way.  We hope you will give generously, even though you might not need United Way supported services now, it's good to know help is there if and when you do.

Please join us in helping to make this year's United Way campaign a success.
