UNITED WAY NEWS
Thanksgiving Supermarket Sweep
Congratulations to John Glen Davis, who won the Thanksgiving Supermarket Sweep!
Unfortunately, John Glen was unable to make it due to class (he is a college student at Waynesburg University) so his mother, Lori Paletta-Davis, stepped in for him. It was so exciting to watch her run to pick up his "grocery list" of steak, gummy bears, crab legs and more! She was FAST!
We also want to congratulate our two gift basket winners - Carolyn Wyld and Dustin Cowell! And, thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket for this fun - and crazy - Thanksgiving Raffle!
