WHEREAS,
Dubuque is one of 2,300 cities in the United States and Canada served by a United
Way, and whose function it is to collect funds through voluntary contributions in
one major campaign each year for 16 health and welfare agencies; and
all residents of the Tri-State Community benefit greatly from the programs and
services given by the United Way agencies serving our community; and
through a judicious study of human care needs it has been determined that
$1,625, 000 is needed to cover the more pressing Community services of health and
welfare agencies and special projects for the coming years; and
generally giving to these multiple causes through the medium of the United Way is
a democratic, humanitarian, accountable way of efficiently meeting these
community obligations; and
United Way Services, Inc. will conduct its annual fall campaign from August 15th
through October 31st of this year.
