When the conations were
counted by Monday, the goal of
$3,500 was missed by about $800.

Mrs. Donna Harvey, local
Heart Fund chairman, said
$2,674.22 was reached in the

_door-knocking campaign. '

She added that the returns
_were about $475 less than the

However, Mrs. Harvey says
she’s still optimistic that more
money can be raised, perhaps:
enough to put it over ‘the top.

these areas before the end of the
