United Way Breakfast

Wednesday morning was the United Way Breakfast to kick off the campaign in our community. I’m fortunate to be director of a United Way agency and this is always a fun event to start the campaign.

Our local director, Rob, is leaving shortly to go to work for United Way of America in Virginia. I’m going to miss him something terrible. I’ve known Rob a very long time and he’s a great guy. It was sad that this was his last kick off breakfast here.

Each year the campaign has a local chair, who spearheads the effort. This year it’s Lisa, who’s the manager of Dillards.

I sat next to her at the chamber dinner year before last and we really hit it off. We talked about getting together for lunch and it still hasn’t happened. How do we let time slip away like that?

Anyway, when I heard she was chairing this year’s campaign, I knew she would be an excellent choice. She’s a dynamic person – always smiling and in a good mood – wonderful to be around. She’s going to have an exceptional campaign, I’m sure.
