Abstract

"News" piece on campaigns to raise funds for victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jeff Wahlstrom, director of United Way of Eastern Maine in Bangor said the campaigns take top priority, but they create a potential problem for local causes. But Chip Hutchins, chairman of the 2001 campaign at United Way of Eastern Maine, said people will dig deeper for local charities, noting that Bangor Hydro employees donated $12,000 to the September 11 Fund, while their in-house local drive has almost reached its goal of $55,000. Chip Hutchins, the son of Maine Times owner Christopher Hutchins, has pledged to match any new donations of $1,000 or more, up to $100,000, and his challenge has already brought in 35 new members for the United Way's "Leaders Circle."
