It's always a relief once the newsletters are printed and ready to be sent! I always have such anxiety about them in the time between our office's final proofreading session and sending it to the printer.
This is just sample of what all of us are doing. Each day is something new and we continually work together within this office, our Partner Programs, the community and our state and national United Way network!
