GVSU's 1994 United Way Campaign kicks off today and runs through this Friday, October 7. The entire univer sity community is urged to take advan tage of this opportunity to support the many organizations and agencies that provide so much help within west Michigan. "Based on the trend in recent cam paigns, I think we can look fo1ward to a record week of giving," President Arend D. Lubbers said. He noted that both the percentage of employees who give during the drive and the amount they contribute, have been on the rise and should continue to go up this year. Lubbers said he expects more than 60 percent of GVSU employees will contribute over $60,000. The President noted that United Way gives contributors a chance to make a difference close to home. United Way channels gifts directl y to agencies throughout west Michigan. You may focus your gift on a particular area of need. You may also opt to make your gift through payroll deduction. Each organization that United Way funds must veri fy its non-profit status, have a volunteer board of directors that meets regularly, and its finances Total contributions to the 1994 Un ited Way Campaign will be announced during must be audited annually by an inde November's President's Breakfast, which will honor the depai1ments with the highest pendent certified public accountant.
