Key drive officials aim for near 1.5 million goal at noon report
United Fund drive officials plan a noon Wednesday briefing at the Stratfield hotel to gauge how close they are to the 1,522,273 target. Kenneth E. Raine, chair, called the meeting a key step to locate soft spots and assess if the campaign reaches all area homes. He noted last week’s report showing 758,365 in gifts, less than half the quota, and said extending the drive is not planned yet. The industrial group’s involvement is hoped to push the total forward, with Tila Roofing of Stratford contributing 6,836, including 3,300 from the firm and 3,536 from employees, a top per capita share aided by a 97.1 percent participation through payroll deduction.
