Goleta Sanitary District has just wrapped up its 2007 United Way employee campaign.  This year the Sanitary District increased in overall giving and in participation.  The campaign raised $4,000, up from $2,700 last year and had 27 donors, up from 14 last year.

Employee Campaign Manager Harold Reyes worked to secure donations from a number of local businesses and held a raffle for all participants.  The raffle was conducted during a pot-luck lunch and presentation by the United Way representative. 

This is the 21st straight year Harold has volunteered to coordinate the United Way campaign at Goleta Sanitary District.  His volunteer time has gone a long way in helping to change local lives, and United Way is very grateful for his efforts.

In addition to offering financial support, Goleta Sanitary District employees volunteer to take part in the "Lunch Bunch" portion of the Fun in the Sun program every summer.  Sanitary District employees give up their lunch break to act as mentors for low income, homeless, and academically at-risk children served by Fun in the Sun.

Thank you to Harold and the rest of the staff at the Sanitary District!
