IS, I*6l IMSTIO FUND OffKIAIS MKPARE FOR CAMPAIGN The Yancey United Fund was organized in the early 19GQs. It began as an effort among the various groups in industry, schools, and business to accom plish these goals. 1: Assure Yancey County its “fai/r share” of donated funds. Too many of these funds were being used ouside the county by national organizations. 2: To give the citizens of the county a voice in how their money would be spent. The Unit ed Fund way of giving is the most democratic way known sin ce Committees composed of local citizens decide where the money goes. 3: To reduce the number of fund raising campaigns within the county, and especially with in the schools. 4: To hold to a minimum the administrative costs (costs of raising mooey). These goals have not changed. The Yancey United Fund raises money at a minimum to support those worthy organisa tions whose contributions to the health and well being of the citizens are consid ered necessary. It amounts to an extended "health and wel fare” department, organized and run by local people, on a local level and on a voluntary »>— Soon the Yancey United Fund will begin tta annual campaign to raiae funds. These funds win be used to finance many pro jects, most of them in Yancey County. As an example, the Health De partment conducts orthopedic clinics that are held primarily for Hie benefit of indigent school children, medical exami nations, x-rays for diagnosis, and corrective appliances are provided among other services.
