If United Way can\u2019t meet the needs then some programs might not be able to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carvajal said Eaton employees are also challenging other local industries, businesses, and individuals to help United Way reach its goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEaton Corporation and their employees have always been very generous to the United Way,\u201d said Meghan Dicke, 2010 campaign chair. \u201cSandy Cutler, CEO of Eaton, is also a supporter and every year encourages all Eaton employees to give generously to the annual campaign. When we have the CEO or a plant manager of a company who leads by example, it really makes a difference on how the employees respond to the campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dicke said local United Way officials are very appreciative of Eaton for undertaking this task and encourage others to do so, too.<\/p>\n<p>Area residents who have not yet contributed are asked to consider doing so today and \u201cMarch United Way to the Top.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Van Wert independent\/United Way information When employees at Eaton Corporation heard that the United Way of Van Wert County was short of its campaign goal by $30,000 they took matters into their own hands, deciding to run a \u201cmini-campaign\u201d to see if they could push United Way to its goal.
