«• PUUNDKALER - FRIDAY, MAY II. 1V7« United Way Goal Continues Planning for an annual fund raiting campaign Is a year long process, so the work of the United Way of McHenry County never ends.

Because of thousands of generous people in McHenry county, the human service agencies of the Unted Way of McHenry County are able to continue their programs through 1979. some of these services had to be curtailed, however, as the campaign last fall only produced a little more than half the goal of $315,000. Nevertheless, the work goes on, and plans for a new 1979-80 campaign to be launched in the Fall, are in the making. United Way members are agreed that plans for a succesful campaign can only be as successful as has been the work of enlightening the public about agencies programs and services to McHenrv county residents. This year the United Way of McHenry County will inaugurate a Speaker's bureau, making a representative of United Way available with a slide film presentation to all service clubs and other organizations throughout the county. The speaker will familiarize interested groups with each agency receiving financial help from the Unted Way and explain why they receive funds.

Improving basic literacy skills is one of the state board of education's highest priorities. "The state board has pledged its continued support of right- to-read programs for all citizens", Cronin said. "Providing programs that assure students the opportunity to learn how to read and com­ municate effectively is surely one of the most fundamental purposes our schools can serve," the state superin­ tendent observed.
