Volunteer of the Year Barbara
has led the campaign in Jennings County for the past two years.
In 2005, she set the largest goal ever at $280,000, with a
private goal of $300,000 and shattered both goals when results
totaled over $328,000. She said, "I believe in setting
goals. I told my cabinet, 'Let's set something to strive for.
Let's get more people in our community to take advantage of
the power of giving." In 2006 she set a goal of $306,500
and no one argued that it was too high. To date the goal has
been met and surpassed by almost $10,000. Barbara
served on the United Way board of directors in the early 1990's..
She is the owner of the local newspaper, North
Vernon Plain Dealer and Sun and has used the media to
support United Way for many years. She is married to John
Roche and has two boys, Nathan and Liam. Barbara King is the
kind of volunteer community wants to have. |

 2006
Volunteer of the Year Then first Lady of North Vernon
and long time United Way supporter, Linda Hall was named
Volunteer of the Year for Jennings County United Way at
the State Leader's conference in Indianapolis March 9th.
Linda has been an active volunteer with Jennings County
United Way dating back to the early 1990's. She served on
the Board of Directors for a three-year term ending in 1998.
She was on the board during the time that our United Way
grew from a $50,000 a year campaign to over $200,000. Linda
was 2004 Campaign Chair, setting the goal at $250,000, our
first attempt at a quarter of a million dollars. When final
numbers came in, the campaign totaled $280,000, the largest
campaign ever for Jennings County. Linda's inspiration and
positive approach towards the community effort paid off.
She was involved in all aspects of the campaign from strategy
and planning the kick-off to leading cabinet meetings and
being the face of the campaign. During
the 2005 campaign, Linda volunteered to lead the Individuals
Division and the Iron Rail Association, our Leadership giving
club. She set two goals, to increase individual giving and
to add new leadership givers to a growing list. She exceeded
both goals and did this by helping devise a strategy to
capture retirees who are lost to us from payroll deduction.
Linda also was strongly involved with planning various campaign
related activities. Recently, Linda graciously accepted
yet another 3-year tenure on our Board of Directors. Linda
is a true leader in Jennings County, quietly making a difference
as she lends herself to many activities. Most people know
who Linda Hall is, but few know how much she does for her
community. Photo
