Shannon Urges Generosity
For United Givers Fund

We have now begun our annual
United Givers Fund Drive.. Our goal is
$47,500. This is the University's share
of the community's need for
$358,500.

The advantages of raising funds this
united way are obvious — the cost and
work of solicitation are kept at a
minimum. Thus, 25 agencies which
care for and develop the capabilities of
many people of all ages in our country
are assisted through this one official
drive here at the University.

This campaign affords us the
opportunity to express our concern
for our fellow men. It is this concern
that makes our community a better
place in which to live and makes us
better men and women. This year,
with many members of the University
so helpful in relieving suffering in
flood-ravaged. Nelson County, we must
not fail to respond to the continuing
needs of the whole community.

I have elected this year to pay my
United Givers Fund pledge through
the payroll withholding plan. You may
wish to consider this convenient
method of distributing your gift in
installments over a six-month period.

We at the University want to assume
our full share of support for these
community agencies. I urge each of
you to give as generously as you
possibly can to the current United
Givers Fund.
