Lawrence, Marketing and Public Relations Manager at the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races-Penn National Gaming, will join the staff of the United Way effective Monday, Aug, 20, 2012.

Paul Espinosa, chairman of the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle, noted “our Board of Directors is excited about Tiffany’s selection. We know she will help us move to the next level in aligning our constituents’ volunteer and donor aspirations with the many opportunities inherent in our mission”.
