United Way Board of Directors had their first quarter meeting on January 12th. Board President Dr. Jeff Peal with Alexander County Schools welcomed the new four Board members; Bill Green with Shurtape Technologies, Tim Keever with Taylorsville Savings Bank, Scott King with Paragon Films and Hazel Yoder retired from Alexander County Schools. Rick French served as 2009 Board President and will serve as 2010 Past President. Other Board members are; Hank Byrd with Schneider Mills, Marissa Cooper with Cooper Southern Properties, Linda Graham with CVCC, Larry Holland retired from Shell Oil Co., Kevin Mann with Craftmaster Furniture, Dennis Smart with Community One Bank and Trudy Wike retired from Piedmont Natural Gas Co. Gail Drum Executive Director says, “we have a great working Board that has brought new ideas and thoughts for this coming year. We’ve had a challenging year but we are staying positive and are thankful for raising $65,187, which is 41% of the $160,000 goal. Please remember the United Way and make your pledge. Our 9 local agencies depend so much on their allocations and we need to fulfill that allocation”.

Board President Dr. Jeff Peal, Associate Superintendent with Alexander County Schools states, “One of the best things we can do as citizens is to give back to our community. We all can look back on our lives and remember people who had an impact on us. People make a difference! I also believe helping those in need is a duty for all of us. One never knows when they may need the assistance of a community group or agency. United Way of Alexander County provides assistance to agencies in our community who are making a difference for our citizens. Sure times are tough, but what price can you put on services provided by groups such as the Rescue Squad and the Red Cross. These people save lives daily. How can one not see the benefits in youth services provided by the Partnership for Children, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, and 4-H. The United Way also provides family support through our affiliation with the YMCA, Alexander International Center, and the Domestic Violence Resource Center. I feel certain that all of us will benefit in one way or another from some of the services provided by our United Way Agencies. Please consider a donation”.

You can send your pledge to United Way PO Box 232 Taylorsville, NC 28681. If you have any questions please call Gail Drum at 632-9565 or email at uwalexco@charter.net.
