More Industry Support Sought For JA Program
Major Vigo County industries are urged to fund Junior Achievement of the Wabash Valley in proportion to their size. At a 1970 fund drive kickoff luncheon, Bob DeBoer called for increased contributions, noting the local JA operates efficiently but lacks community support. The goal is 36 000 with one third expected from major givers. 10 000 is covered by the J A Center donated by Associated Physicians and Surgeons Clinic, and Vigo Dodge donated a car. The program will expand from 17 to 23 JA companies and add 188 youths from the current 392 served, with CBS Direct Marketing Service and Columbia Records pledging 500 each, and 76 solicitors aiding efforts ahead of Friday’s report.
