The 2018 United Way of Hardin County 2018 Campaign is now underway, and we are working hard to reach our goal of $220,000.
Chris and I are honored to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs of the Campaign this year because we believe in the 20 nonprofit, results-oriented programs that United Way supports, programs that are vital to serving individual and family needs in a variety of areas, including health care, children, youth, seniors, and people in crisis. Like many in our community, we want to insure that those who benefit from these essential programs can continue to do so.

There was no fire, but a defective smoke alarm, which firemen replaced. Rotarians, employees, hotel guests, and other diners soon returned to The Inn and continued the day they had planned. (Monty Siekerman photo)
