MCC-Longview kicks off United Way month with hotdog cookout


Hotdogs! Photobooth! Chili Cookoff! It sounds like a month-long celebration, MCC-Longview is doing it for a good casue.

Be sure to stop by one of the many events around campus throughout October that will benefit United Way.

To start the month, Phi Theta Kappa will be serving up hotdogs and chips on Wednesday in the Campus Center with all the procees going toward United Way. They aim to sell more than 100 hotdogs. Think you can help them out?

United Way helps people by working with the whole community and getting to the heart of our most important issues in ways no other organization can.

Last year MCC-Longview raised $6,138.57 to donate to United Way. How awesome to be part of a solution to assist individuals in need with our donations. This year Longview’s goal is to have 100 percent participation from the employees. Watch for e-mails announcing our events and other activities that will help in reaching this goal.
