The Northenders versus the Southenders - teams at ERAC joined forces to raise money for United Way - and have a little fun along the way. The goal was to increase the number of people participating in the giving campaign and the team with the greatest percentage of participation won. The prize - lunch with Superintendent Welch.

The friendly competition certainly paid off - the pledges from ERAC increased more than 40% over last year! Stay tuned for all the United Way results once they are fully tablulated.

Hosting the winners of a drawing from the winning Northender team were Southender Ambassadors Lora Giboney and Cheryl Schindel. Lunch attendees were: Janice Burley, Bang Parkinson, Fa'izah Bradford, Hiede Del Rosario, Wanda Skoog, Katherine Davis, Mark Henry, Sue Hoffman, Pam Golden, and Ann Benedict.
