Join us for Lunch & Learn

Please make plans to join us for YLP’S next Lunch & Learn on Thursday, September 10th (11:30 - 1:00) in the United Way Board Room (843 N. President St., Jackson 39202).

The guest speaker for this session is Ira Murray, United Way’s Vice President of Community Impact, who will talk about the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program that put $3.8 million dollars back into the community last year and how United Way plans to grow the program this tax season.

Brown bags are welcome!

RSVP: Monica Daniels (monica@myunitedway.com; 601-965-1346) by September 8th to secure a prepared lunch. We understand that plans change. If you reserve a lunch but cannot make the meeting, please try to remember to cancel so United Way does not incur unneccessary costs. Thanks!

Next time you're in Schimmel's say a special thanks for the delicous appetizers.
