The goal of this year's campaign is to raise $1 million between the two communities, as it was in 2012."We fell pretty short of that last year," said Leo Lovett, this year's campaign chairman. "But I believe that we can make it this year."Lovett stressed the importance of people helping people and making sure everyone in the community is asked to donate or help however they can."We're focusing on reaching everyone," he said. "Some people come to us and say we've never been asked. Everywhere I go, I'm asking."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Clovis News Journal (Clovis, N.M.)
