MALLOY GOVERNOR STATE OF CONNECTICUT Dear State Employee/Retiree, Despite challenging economic times, thousands of you stepped up last year and made a commitment to helping others in need. The more than $1.7 million that the nonprofit community received through your contributions to the 2010 Connecticut State Employees’ Campaign (CSEC) supports a multitude of local and global charitable causes. The impact that your generosity has on our state, our nation and the world is immeasurable. Be assured that every dollar pledged to the CSEC changes the life of a person that you may never meet, but is better off because of you. As we embrace the campaign’s theme of “Caring for Connecticut...and Beyond” we are hopeful that our support will mean a better and brighter future for our residents and those living in other areas of the world. The hundreds of charitable organizations that are listed in the campaign directory can help us fulfill this goal. Please consider a gift to the 2011 campaign and support charities that provide critically needed services, so together we can build a better tomorrow. Sincerely, Dannel P.
