Message From The CEO
"The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground." – Buddhist proverb, Author Unknown
The past few months have been extremely busy for United Way of Monmouth County: we completed another successful SnowFlake Wishes Drive, sponsored by J.F. Kiely Construction Company; redesigned our website; held our first Casino Night; and, most importantly, worked with Agency and Corporate partners to launch our Community Impact Agenda. In May, we held our 2011 Spring Tee-Off, sponsored by UBS Financial Services: The Donnelly Group. In the months ahead, we look forward to even more. We have partnered with the Lakewood BlueClaws to become one of their community partners and, on June 23rd, we will have United Way of Monmouth County Night at the Ballpark. The Second Annual “Stuff the Bus” drive will also be held this summer.
These are just a few of the things we are doing to impact the lives of everyone in Monmouth County. As we continue to reach out to the community and grow our United Way, it is crucial that we find new partners, sponsors, volunteers and donors. Finding the resources necessary to meet ever-increasing community needs is the only way we can achieve success in our Community Impact goals. If you have been reading our materials but haven’t been actively involved, I ask you to re-engage with United Way and help us change Monmouth County forever.
Lastly, we have over 10,000 people on the mailing list receiving this newsletter, which is published 3 times per year. As we try to get information to our loyal supporters in a more timely fashion, we have been using email to send out a monthly e-newsletter to announce upcoming events and other pertinent information. Currently, we have about 3,000 email addresses in our database and, if you are one of the 7,000 not receiving our e-blasts, we would love to have your email too. To join our email list, please go to our newly redesigned website: www.uwmonmouth.org. At the bottom of the home-page, you will see “Join the Movement”, just click on the “Subscribe” button. You can also email Tamer Gouda at tgouda@uwmonmouth.org.
Again, thank you all for your support of our United Way.
