Letter to the Editor

Kudos, thank you for supporting UCAN Walk

Sunday, May 27, 2012

To the Editor,

I simply wanted to say Thank You to the community of Poplar Bluff for the tremendous support of the Walk Because UCAN. Not only was I amazed at the generosity of so many, but I was also inspired by our community's warmth and compassion. Sarah Jarboe White, among countless others, have had and continue to have a tremendous impact on this community and I have no doubt they are smiling down upon Poplar Bluff.

As the marketing director for Southern Bank, I encourage our employees to get out and become active in an organization they believe in, and, they came through for UCAN this past week in a big way. We set a goal of raising $3,400 to donate to UCAN, however our staff exceeded that goal raising a grand total of $4,500! Our employees worked diligently to raise money by holding lunches, washing customer windshields, creating and selling a cookbook, holding Wii Bowling tournaments and so much more. The Bread Company also generously allowed us to wait tables a couple nights to help raise funds.

I couldn't be more proud to work with such a dedicated group, and to work for a company that allows us to take part and support organizations that we are passionate about. Kudos to the UCAN Board, Melody Melloy and the countless volunteers that dedicate their time, talent and funds to support this amazing organization
