United Fund Drive in Sidney and Sioux Ord Trails Goal
The United Fund of Sidney and Sioux Ord nance Depot reports 1962 collections and pledges total 11000, about 5000 short of the campaign goal, with doubt the final total will reach last year’s 11000. Most major contributors are in, few stragglers remain, and residential fundraising is incomplete. Projections suggest a pro rata share for member agencies and consideration of whether to continue the drive. Board members will decide soon amid questions about sustaining United Fund in Sidney.
