The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 4 p.m., according to Lewis Rudolph, the organization’s executive director. “The meeting is an occasion to celebrate the United Way family,” said Rudolph. “More than the usual business will be addressed at this meeting: we want it to be more of a family reunion for everyone who is involved” Rudolph said. A number of people associated with the United Way will attend at the meeting. “Contributors, agencies, and even
