United Way Moving Down the Street

The United Way of the Bradford Area (UWBA) is preparing for a move to its new location of 161 Main Street, with business to begin there effective June 29, 2009.

Kelly Case, Executive Director, says the new space will offer additional exposure for the organization. “With the traffic at the intersections of Davis and Main Streets, and the highway, we’re expecting the increased visibility will only benefit us, especially during the pivotal months of our campaign”.

The office is housed in a building owned by Craig and Nancy Hartburg, who are long-time supporters of the United Way. Craig is a past Red Feather recipient, board member and Campaign Chairperson.

“Nancy and I are very excited about the United Way of Bradford opening the office at 161 Main,” says Hartburg. “We consider the location a gateway building for Bradford, and having the United Way as a first floor occupant will certainly speak well of Bradford to our many visitors.

“We wish the United Way continued success in their new space”.

The phone and fax numbers, as well as the post office box number , will remain the same. Currently the United Way staff and Board of Directors include: Kelly Case and Mandi Davis; Dan Manion (Board President), John Peterson (Vice President), Vonda Reese (Treasurer), Stephanie Vettenburg Shaffer (Secretary), Marcia Avey, Mary Boser, Dr. Jim Evans, Michele Gangloff, Sam Johnson, Mike Mascho, Mary Ann Quinn, Mary Ann Roney, Bridgette Wells and Jim Wiseman.

Preparations are being made for the 2009 campaign, which will be themed “Back to Basics”. The official start of the solicitation process is August 15th with the annual kick-off event, Pig Roast, slated for September 10th.
