United Fund Makes First Disbursements of 2011-12 Campaign

As the current year draws to a close, the United Fund of Talbot County allocated $150,750, the first of three distributions to its 2011-12 participating agencies. Representatives from the Fund’s 22 member agencies were present to celebrate the occasion at the Fund’s office at 121 North Washington Street.  The Fund has enjoyed a good response to this year’s appeal, attracting contributions totaling 74% of the $450,000 goal so far.  “We are delighted by the continued strong flow of donations,” Ann Jacobs, United Fund of Talbot County Executive Director said, “but we still have a long way to go in reaching the 2011-12 campaign goal.”
