Quinns are UWBA 20101 Campaign Chairs

Scott and MaryAnn Quinn gained insight into their new roles as chairs of the 2010 campaign during a training session held Tuesday.

Executive Director Kelly Case and Community Relations & Marketing Specialist Megan Mangini provided information regarding responsibilities and time lines for the coming appeal, noting that the effort will be one that is supported heavily by the United Way staff and Board of Directors.

"The Quinns are veterans when it comes to the United Way," says Case. "They have been involved with the Untied Way for more than 15 year." MaryAnn has been a board member, campaign division chair, & 2008 Red feather recipient. Both Scott & MaryAnn have been volunteers in every sense of the definition.

"We're proud and honored to take on the role of chairpersons," says Scott Quinn. "This campaign has such a rewarding goal."

For their part, the dedicated campaign volunteers are looking forward to the task at hand and taking on the rewarding challenge.

During the training session, the individuals received a packet of information detailing the job descriptions for each campaign division, as one of their tasks will be to organize the solicitation efforts of a particular section.

"We divide our campaign donors into nine sub-categories, or divisions," says Mangini. "Kelly and I will assist the team of volunteers with each step of the process."
The community will find that the campaign theme is "A Lifetime of Gratitude" in their efforts this year. "This theme is especially fitting because the United Way is turning 85 this year," says Case.

"85 years is a big accomplishment," says Mangini. "With this years appeal we wanted to show the community how much they have done for the United Way by saying thank you."
The campaign process officially begins August 15, and plans are underway for the annual, Pig Roast/Clam Bake, which is scheduled for Thursday, September 9.

"We're encouraging people to learn about the United Way, and the programs and services which are able to be financially supported through this campaign," says Mangini. "Please feel free to visit our office, check out our website and check us out on Facebook."
