"The campaign grew in both counties this year, Huron and Perth:' The overall goal this year was $1,115,000. Last year, the United Way raised $1,082,651. This year's campaign team put a strong focus on the top -20 workplace accounts this year, with notable increases from Sifto Salt, Stratford Festival and the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance employees. Erb said much of the credit falls to campaign co-chairs Ron Shaw and Wayne Smith for reaching out to donors and encour- aging them to support the United Way. The final decision for the allocation of funds takes place later this month, and the additional funds means the United Way is able to give a little bit more this year. Applications for funding were submitted in the fall of 2013. "We are certainly helping as many as we did last year," Erb said. "The biggest thing is maybe we are able to give a bit more Meanwhile, the United Way Social Research and Planning Council will be taking on a quality of life report, which will be released in the summer. The report is done every four years when the most recent census information is available. They just wrapped up a report on volunteerism in the two counties. Raceway improvements coming for 2014 season The Clinton Raceway will be getting some improve- ments this season. Council Dan Colquhoun informed council March 3 about $330,000 in improvements to the racetrack. Work to be done includes paving and painting the parking lot, washrooms, work on the judges stand, roof and betting area in addition to 2-3 rows of bucket seats. Colquhoun explained that the raceway board will be footing the bill for the work, though their only concern would be additional engineering costs. The proximity of the slots was council's main concern. Paving the lot could make a cramped situation if a private entity takes over management of the facility later in the year. Colquhoun noted that concern has been discussed by the raceway board, and that the paving could be put off until later, when plans are known. get it whim clintonnewsrecord.com lf/e %ate *eut %a Vmralo at 7e4e thea eketetted: ri Clinton United Church 105 Ontario Street Minister Rev.
