The University of Kentucky United way Fund Raising Drive is
underway and you will soon be contacted by a fellow library
employee asking you to give to the United way. The library has a
tradition of generously supporting the United way and I urge you
to continue your support.
Money raised by the United way of the Bluegrass is spent in our
community on projects important to Lexington. Community needs ,
are assessed each year by panels of citizen volunteers. Each
agency applying for funds is scrupulously reviewed, also by
citizen volunteers, to ensure they are meeting their goals and
are spending our money effectively. Over 90% of the money
collected is directly allocated to agencies. The remaining 10%
is retained by the local United way for training, administration,
and campaign expenses. All of the money remains in the Blue-
grass.
You may contribute by payroll deduction, by giving cash or a
check, or by asking to be billed. If you contribute more than
$10.00 you may designate on the back of your pledge card which
agency you wish to receive credit for your contribution. If you ‘
do not feel that you can contribute money at this time, please .
consider calling the Volunteer Center at 278-6258 and volunteer
to work with an agency that interests you. The Center has a
number of activities which may fit into your busy schedule.
Together, each contributing the best way we can, we will help all
of Lexington the United way. ¤

TASK FORCE REPORT
The Task Force on Staff working Conditions wants to thank all
those who took the time to fill out the questionnaire. It was
evident that many of you gave much thought to your responses. Of
the 110 questionnaires delivered to technical and clerical staff
members, 39 were returned. Then the Committee finalizes its
report, we will summarize our findings in a future issue of the
Green Bean, as well as at the ACTS luncheon in October.
