 Pacesetter Luncheon Helps Kickoff 2007/08 Campaign
United Way of Santa Barbara County kicked-off the 2007/08 Community Campaign with an educational Pacesetter Luncheon, which was held at Rodney's Steakhouse in Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort. The facility was generously donated by the resort. Lynda Nahra, President & CEO of Community West Bank, and United Way's Community Campaign Deputy Chair was the mistress of ceremonies. To honor her work the restaurant was decorated in a bank theme with fun decorations and Nahra bucks spread throughout the tables.
Brian Sarvis, Santa Barbara School Districts Superintendent and United Way's Community Campaign Chair spoke about some of the current success United Way has gained through volunteer hours and dollars to continue helping the community though the Power of Partnership™. Many organizations shared fun ideas for success. Participating businesses were ABC Clio, Bank of America, City of Goleta, Community West Bank, Cox Communications, Damitz, Brooks, Nightingale, Turner and Morrisset, Exxon Mobil, Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort, Four Seasons Biltmore, L-3 Communications MariPro Inc., Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, and Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care.

 United Way: Lending a Helping Hand
Joe* is a single dad working two minimum wage jobs to support himself and his two children. He makes barely enough money to pay the rent and needs extra assistance feeding his family. With the help of an agency funded by United Way of Santa Barbara County, Joe was not only able to get the food he needed to feed his family, but get school supplies and other necessities for his children, as well. With the help of United Way of Santa Barbara County and the Power of Partnership™, Joe is able to feed himself and his children, and provide them with a more stable and nurturing environment.
