UF reaches
84% of goal
The 1971 Newberry County
United Fund has received pledg
es or cash for $37,280 or 84
percent of its $44,358 goal, ac
cording to figures released by
Byron Boyce, president of the
Board of Directors for the Unit
ed Fund.
Of the nine Divisions in the
Fund, only the Commercial Di
vision headed by Bobby Sum
mer met its 1971 quota although
three other Divisions (Indus
trial, Public Employees, and
Eastern Newberry County) sur
passed what they gave in 1970.
“Although the $37,280 that
has been pledged or collected
is about $7,000 shy of what we
wanted,’ Boyce said, “this
year’s amount is the second
highest that has been given
to the Newberry County Unit
ed Fund; in 1970 a record of
$38,297 was received.”
Boyce expressed gratification
to many of the industries in
Newberry for their contribu-
butions; he stated that 100 per
cent of the Newberry Mills em
ployees gave and the employee
contributions of the Mollohon
Plant of Kendall Mills and the
corporate and the employee
gifts of Central Soya were con
siderably higher this year.
But he pointed out the pledg
es from the public education,
professional and Western New
berry County Divisions were
well below what they gave in
1970.
“Naturally we are disappoint
ed that we didn’t reach our
goal,” Boyce added, “we will
now be forced to make some
adjustments in the amount of
money we can give to the 18
agencies who are members of
our United Fund.”
He urged all persons who
have not' yet been contacted
and all volunteers who have
not turned in their final report
to contact the United Fund Of
fice in Newberry’s Community
Hall as soon as possible.
