United Way of Alexander County
2005/2006 Campaign KickOff
August 25, 2005

The United Way of Alexander County held the Kick Off Luncheon for the 2005/2006 Fundraising Campaign on August 25, 2005. Attendees were honored to have the 2005/06 NC Educator of the Year, Ms. Wendy Miller, as guest speaker. (photo-center)
As attendees arrived they found a surprise of a "Luau Theme" for the luncheon complete with Hawaiian leis, straw hats, grass skirts and accessories! All attendees received a lei and United Way Board members were "thrilled" (or not) to find they would be wearing a variety of Hawaiian accessories. The ladies donned grass skirts and hair accessories, whereas the men wore straw hats and coconut bras. Needless to say, the afternoon started with lots of laughter! Special entertainment was provided by the four year old class at First Baptist Church Daycare who brought ahhhss from the crowd with the cute Luau Dance they performed.
