Cessna: Still Time to Help United Way

In this week’s edition of Talk of the Town, we talk with Roy Cessna, president of the Finney County United Way board, about the fundraising campaign going on now.

The goal is a lofty one, at $550,000, which will help 21 agencies in Finney County in 2010. So far, the group is about 30 percent of the way to the goal with a few weeks left in the campaign.
