October 8, 2024 – The Hopkins County United Way held their second meeting of the season Tuesday, (the 8th), and the donations are continuing to march in. KSST was present at this meeting. Everyone sat at a conference table at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office in Sulphur Springs, Texas. The volunteers went around the room sharing what businesses and organizations had turned in their donation packets. Many volunteers reported many packets had been turned in. As each volunteer went around the room and made their reports, the others cheered them on.
As Executive Secretary Susan Berning added up the totals, the Campaign Volunteers, that wanted to, submitted their names for the drawing of door prizes, and three winners were drawn. Afterwards, when the numbers were all added up, Campaign Chair Lyndsay Palmer called for a symbolic drum roll as she announced the grand total of the campaign for this meeting, and for up to this point. After all was said and done, Lyndsay and Susan were very pleased to announce pledges reported at this meeting total $13,609.23, bringing the pledge total to $31,474.22.
Susan and Lyndsay then told everyone the next Campaign Report Meeting would be next Tuesday, same time, same place. Then everyone went their separate ways for the day.
