Getting up early for the cause...

Today, Stephanie and Krystal arrived at the Convention Center downtown for the United Way kick-off breakfast - at 6am! The breakfast didn't start until 7, but we had to be there early to register and get the booth set up. Sorry, no pictures this time, but trust me it looked good :)

We were lucky enough to be interviewed by Access Television. Bob Wilson, our Executive Director, spoke with the Access TV Anchor for about 10 minutes about who we are and what we do - what an awesome way to get the word out for free!

Breakfast was pretty good, too! :)

United Way fair at the State Capitol


Today we participated in a fair on the West Steps of the Capitol Building for United Way. This was for the companies that donate through United Way to get a chance to meet us, and learn what our organization is all about. We met a lot of great people, and the event was definitely a success, in spite of it being over 100 degrees outside!

Here is a picture of our booth - we think it looked nice, and we were very grateful to have the shade canopy!
