Letter from the Chair
My Fellow Colleagues:
As employees of the United States of America, we have very few opportunities where we can come together and speak with one voice on an issue upon which we can all agree. As we are all public employees, I would like to think we all have freely chosen to serve the public and as such are concerned about the well being of our fellow citizens. That being assumed, I would like you to join me in supporting the Combined Federal Campaign, our vehicle for showing the general public that we are concerned about our fellow human beings. The one chance where we can come together and make a positive statement about whom we are and show that we do care, in a UNITED VOICE.
I know that many of us would like to have more discretionary income than we currently have. We all want the best for our families, but I ask each of you to stop for a moment and consider the strife that many of our fellow human beings experience every day, some in this country and many more abroad. There are so many who need help. I ask you to look into your hearts and find a way to support the Combined Federal Campaign. If we could average just $2 a week ($4 a pay period) per employee, we could raise almost $1 1/2 million, well over the $699,000 goal of last year’s campaign. To do it everyone would have to give.
It is easy to rationalize not giving. I have heard, “I give to my favorite charity”, or “I don’t support one of the organizations that gets money from CFC.” I know you can find a charity in CFC that you believe in. If you designate that they get the money then they get the money!
Be a donor in your organization, give and ask others to give. Take pride in who you are and who we are. Let’s show Eastern Wisconsin that federal employees give freely of their time, talent and money to help those who need our help.
Thank you for making our (yours and mine) drive a success.
