Campaign chairman, Ronald W. Prather, Crystal Lake, an­ nounced final campaign results to 120 delighted guests atending United Way's annual meeting at the Cloven Hoof Restaurant in Marengo. Prather told his audience: "So many good things happened in this campaign, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific reasoi^for the great success you)J have achieved. Your planning was good, your organization was excellent, and your efforts were superb. But, in the. final analysis, people are the reason we succeeded. Our results reflect the generosity of several thousand McHenry County residents and the magnificent work of the nearly 300 volun­ teers who took this campaign to the people of this County."

In presenting the award to her, Prather noted, "Bobbie's efforts were clearly outstanding in a year when so many people served our community so well in the campaign. The three major employer accounts she served as campaign consultant, and her own employer's worksite campaign, all qualifed for our 'Special Thanks' award for significantly increased giving. "Additionally, Bobbie sup­ ported our campaign as a coordinator in the Small; Business solicitation effort, by 4 speaking to employees at several firms across the county about services provided by , Pioneer Center, one of our member agencies, and by conducting tours of her agency for groups of United Ways solicitors."
