Leadership Roundtable

Debbie Turner, Publisher, Times Mail

“I believe that the United Way of Lawrence County
 should be a stronger organization than we’ve
seen in the past, meeting larger goals, increasing
the giving amounts from Lawrence County residents 
to fund the programs to help other Lawrence County 
residents. To meet an aggressive United Way goal
community leaders need to step forward, personally
 and corporately, to make it happen. What could 
United Way do if each of us increases our giving 
by 10%, by 50%? Then United Way of Lawrence County 
would be able to increase its support of key social 
service agencies, take on new initiatives to meet
 changing needs and help create a stronger Lawrence
 County. I want to help make that happen.”

“Being a Leadership Roundtable Giver is very 
important to me because I want to give back to 
the agencies that helped me in my time of need. 
I want these agencies to be able to continue 
helping others when the need is desperate!
 I encourage everyone in this community to 
give to the United Way of Lawrence County by
 donating money, goods, or their time. The 
feeling you get from helping others is indescribable.”

“When my eleven brothers and sisters and I were
 children, we didn’t have much of anything, but
 I never felt “poor.” Agencies like the member 
agencies of United Way of Lawrence County always
 helped us make ends meet with food, clothes and 
presents at Christmas. That’s why I’ve always 
helped United Way. This year, I’ve decided to 
increase my pledge from the Columbia to the Pentagon
 level. United Way helps a lot of people and I want
 to give back to the community through the U
nited Way of Lawrence County’s Leadership 
Roundtable.”

Leadership Givers are those who believe that their contribution will make a difference in the community they call home. They demonstrate to others that Lawrence County is worthy of such a significant personal investment by joining the Lawrence County Leadership Roundtable. Those who belong to the Roundtable serve as an example for all to recognize and emulate. You are invited to join together with fellow leaders by becoming a member of the United Way of Lawrence County’s Astronauts or Limestone Roundtable with an annual gift of $500 and above. Celebrate and honor our astronaut and limestone heritage with your leadership gift. You will set and direct the course our community takes for years to come.
