Help set the course for
your United Way
The Brown County United Way is
looking for approximately 200 people to help plan its future by
attending the first BCUW Community Planning Summit Tuesday,
September 26, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
"This is an opportunity for
people from every walk of life to come and help set the course
for the Brown County United Way," said Toni Loch, Brown
County United Way president and chief executive officer.
"There is a contagious attitude running through Brown
County. This summit will take that energy and give United Way a
roadmap into the future."
While the United Way has sent
invitations directly to community members, the organization
welcomes requests to attend from any interested Brown County
resident.
Participants will determine how the
Brown County United Way will:
- Continue to build relationships
that will make the organization most effective;

- Mobilize Brown County's
resources;
- Provide the best possible
community service; and
- Communicate Brown County's human
services needs, and how lives can be improved.
Summit participants will
employ a decision-making method used worldwide by both
not-for-profits and large corporations known as appreciative inquiry.

Campaign Kickoff September 7
Longwell's done it, and now so will
the United Way. In partnership with Associated Banc-Corp and
the Green Bay Packers, the Brown County United Way will kickoff
its 2006 campaign at Lambeau Field, September 7, from 4 p.m. to
7 p.m.
Hosted on the club level at
Lambeau, this very special event will feature presentations by
Toni Loch and 2006 Campaign Chair Paul Beideman, along with
opportunities to hobnob with Packers President and CEO Bob
Harlan, General Manager Ted Thompson and a host of Packers
players. Attendees will experience music, fun and, most of all,
the great spirit of our Brown County community.
Invitations to this one—of a—kind event will be in the mail soon. Tickets
will be available on a first come, first
served basis. For more information,

Celebrating 25 Years
Fighting Literacy Epidemic
Words, whether written, spoken or
implied, are a world unto themselves—a world filled with ambiguity, personal
triumph, tragedy and the manifestation of what can and will be.
Although no two people have the
same interpretation of a word's meaning or existence, its
purpose is universally known: to effectively communicate
one's message and intention.
Such is the pageantry of the spoken
and written word.
Yet, many Brown County adults are
unable to revel in the magnitude and elegance of the English
language due to illiteracy.
For the past 25 years, the Literacy
Council of Brown County has made it a priority to increase
reading, writing, speaking and listening skills for adults and
families in the community.
Founded in 1981, the Literacy
Council of Brown County emerged in response to a need for
tutors to work with refugees from Southeast Asia. The
program, which consisted solely of volunteers, expanded to
include
students of all ethnicities,
undereducated adults and paid workers.
"We believe that the knowledge
and skills our students are in need of acquiring are those that
will best support them in making a safe and successful
transition into the local community and assist them in making
long-term family, educational and career decisions," said
Tori Raider, executive director of the Literary Council of
Brown County.
Raider's vision and beliefs can be
seen in the story of Geovany Rodriguez.
Coming to the United States with a
degree earned from a two-year university in his native Puerto
Rico, Rodriguez arrived on U.S. soil with a vision and all of
the tools to become successful in whatever path he chose.
Like many US citizens from foreign
soil, Rodriguez could not claim English to be his primary
language.
