You can ask them this afternoon during an online chat on the Journal-World’s Web site with Ann Gardner, chairwoman of the 2005 United Way campaign, and Jo Bryant, director of United Way of Douglas County.

Gardner, who is the Journal-World’s editorial editor, said the organization’s goal was to better last year’s fundraising goal of $1.55 million.

The chat will begin at 1:30 p.m. on www.ljworld.com. You may submit questions early or during the live chat. A transcript will be available during and after the chat on the Web site.
