Day of Caring held over weekend

Diane Fisk of First Financial Bank surveys her handiwork after giving Commissioner’s Clerk Larry Clouse (left) and County Commissioner Thad Lichtensteiger a pie in the face on Friday. The pie-throwing was the culmination of a food collection challenge between county government workers and downtown businesses as part of this year’s United Way Day of Caring. The event, which included food and blood drives on Friday, will culminate today with a variety of projects taken on by local businesses and organizations to help United Way member agencies.
