“Happy New Year! I enjoyed spending the holidays with my three children, and now I’m refreshed and ready for a successful 2022. This month I celebrate FIVE years with the United Way. Raising money for my and my children’s hometown community is rewarding every single day. I love this career tremendously and I love the Ohio Valley. Wishing you all a happy, healthy 2022!”
