The 19th Annual Duck Derby will be held on Saturday, June 23, 2012 as part of the Tunkhannock Founder’s Day festivities.

Bringing an event to a successful conclusion is not easily accomplished. In the nonprofit sector, the cost would be too prohibitive without the generous and caring support of volunteers. The Duck Derby is an example of volunteers coming together for the benefit of agencies supported by Wyoming County United Way. From donation of prizes, to planning, printing, and organizing, volunteers are key to the success of nonprofit events.

On January 26, the Wyoming County United Way elected and welcomed a new group of dedicated local residents as board members.

As part of our annual tradition, 2011 Board President, Atty. Sandy Boyle ceremoniously passed the gavel to 2012 President, Flo DePolo. New and returning officers and board members were elected as follows:

Officers
President - Flo DePolo
Past-President - Sandy Boyle, Esq.
Vice President - John Keefe
Secretary - Karen Seibert – Milnes Companies
Treasurer – Debbie Shurtleff

Board Members

Due to the effects from the hurricane and flooding, the Day of Caring will be rescheduled for the Spring. Once a date has been selected by the volunteers from P&G, it will be posted on the website and Partner Agencies of the Wyoming County United Way will be notified. Check back for dates and additional information.
