Description
United Fund of Fort Worth and Tarrant County took the first step towards the 1953 fall campaign with the naming of W. C. Meyer as general campaign chairman. Meyer served as chairman of the promotion and publicity committee of the first United Fund campaign last fall which resulted in the pledging of $1,430,801 the largest amount ever subscribed in one campaign at Fort Worth. Trustees also approved appointment of four more committees. Trustees also officially approved changing the name of the organization to the United Fund of Fort Worth and Tarrant County which was only Fort Worth previously. Meyer's appointment as general campaign chairman was recommended by the campaign committee headed by Homer Covey. Homer Ladd heads the other previously named committee on the budget.
