First Week

Meant to blog each day about my United Way experience, but found I was so tired I could hardly drive home from work!

I have been given all the files for the companies I will be working with. Looks like Coscto is a big one — their employees are really community-minded.

I have banks, credit unions, financial, professional, media, retail and schools. One hundred and sixty one all together. The 15 weeks I have left is looking shorter by the minute!

The kick-off for the campaign is Sept. 18 at the Chilliwack Bruin’s game in Chilliwack. Tickets are at a special low price, and part of the price includes a donation to United Way. I’ll update this blog with the info tomorrow.

There is also a pancake breakfast in MIssion at the Heritage Park the next morning, Saturday. Sept. 19. I will be there flipping.
