2006/2007

Board Chair: Dave Therrien
Campaign Chair: Linda Hakala
Theme: Chart Your Course
Goal: $2,236,393

The theme, Chart Your Course, provided employee groups with fun and playful campaign ideas - pirates, parrots, treasurer chests and exotic islands could be found throughout the Monadnock Region as donors were asked to chart the course for the region in 2007 by choosing to support this campaign. The goal was reached and announced on Thursday, December 14, 2006, the first campaign to reach goal within the calendar year since 1999.

In 2006, Monadnock United Way involved itself directly in the long-term recovery efforts following the floods of 2005. The new collaborative for long-term disaster recovery, Operation Flood Recovery (OFR), served 228 households and distributed close to $400,000.00 in donated funds, with 74 OFR registered households referred to Southwestern Community Services (SCS) Housing Rehabilitation program for technical assistance and labor to restore damaged homes.
