Why give to United Way? What will I get in return? A number of years ago, prior to RCUW, I was asked to assist with forming an Allocations Committee, for the Kingman area.
That was the beginning of a long term relationship with United Way. I saw it transform from United Way of Southern Nevada into River Cities United Way
What I received in return was a conduit for giving to others, in a painless and organized manner, through United Way. Helping others was my goal. I was, and still am, employed by an organization, very dedicated to United Way, Mohave State Bank. They have allowed the time necessary to serve in many capacities, including my current term as Chairman of the RCUW Advisory Committee for Kingman. The pay is terrible, with the rewards extraordinary! Do I give as much time as I should, no. I, like most others in this organization, serve with numerous other organizations and committees.
This leads up to the need for additional volunteers to get involved with United Way, in some form, whether it be through giving, or volunteering. Our Allocations, Community Impact, Budget and Finance, and Marketing/ Resource Committees, all need members, as well as representation on the Governing Board, located in Lake Havasu.
Opportunities await, so get on board, the rewards are extraordinary!
