Reggie: Okay. What about their work? What about the work that United Way does that you are really passionate about? That you love seeing them do.

Speaker 2: So, well, go ahead Marvin.

Marvin : I'm really passionate about how they're able to connect the community in so many ways. So that's the one thing that I'm passionate about.

Reggie: Okay.

Speaker 2: This is going to sound crazy, but I like it when they come out every year and do their campaign fundraiser. And the reason I say that, we have to deal with fundraisers all the time, whether it's candies, popcorn from schools, faith based organizations, those who do it. But more so for the United Way, when their campaign contribution comes around, they'll tell you, "this is where your money is going." And if you really don't know what to do, or even if you are already involved in a whole bunch of stuff, "Hey, let me give to this organization, because I know there are other people who are out here in the fight." So when their campaign time comes around... Speaker 2: I was an ambassador for the city and encouraging people, "Hey, let's get some money together." The military taught us... First of all, you didn't have no option in the military. When that time came around, you put down how much you were going to give them. But I know where it's going. And so I can fully support that. I see what's going to happen on the other end. So when campaign fundraising time comes around, I'm excited about that time of year. So- Reggie: Okay. But people also have the option to designate which agencies the money goes to. Isn't that correct?

Speaker 2: True. Yeah. Yes.

Marvin : So if they're passionate about, I mean, [inaudible 00:20:58] it includes everybody.

Reggie: It's great observation. Okay. With regard to results, what outcomes would you see that let you know that United Way was achieving its success? What outcomes would you see?
