Employees break another record for school supplies drive
Once again, YNHH employees made the annual United Way school supply drive a smashing success by donating a record-breaking almost 29,000 items! Employees contributed thousands of notebooks, pencils, crayons, rulers and more. Members of the hospital’s United Way Committee delivered supplies to students at two New Haven schools: Hill Central Music Academy and St. Martin de Porres. At St. Martin de Porres, school drive co-chairs Sandy Elkin-Randi (left), manager outpatient registration, PFAS, and Camille Lamothe, department head secretary, Radiation Oncology, express their delight with Richard D’Aquila, executive vice president and COO, at the generosity of YNHH employees.
The school drive is getting employees thinking about United Way and the 2010 campaign. The next major event is United Way Days of Caring, which run Saturday-Friday, October 3-9. Those interested in volunteering for a service project may register for one at the web site of the Greater New Haven United Way: www.uwgnh.org.
