Bright Ideas

Home Federal set high goals this year for their United Way campaign: $66,000 in employee giving, 100% participation and to grow their Heart Club participation to 65 members. ECM Cal Perleberg and CC Mike Flint, along with other team members, planned a tailgating-themed week that included three rallies with food, speakers and some exciting new incentives to help Home Federal reach their goals.

Home Federal is full of fun ways to get their employees ready to participate. Everyone who donates at least $5 will get to play Bingo and have a chance at winning great prizes. Also, employees that pledge $5 or more will get to participate in one predetermined Jeans Day and employees that pledge $10 or more will be eligible for two Jeans Days!

In addition to the fun incentives for participating, Home Federal will also be holding a Heart Club Thank You reception for all current and future Heart Club members.
