Special Message from Secretary Gary Locke

TO: All DOC Employees

FROM: Secretary Gary Locke

SUBJECT: Reminder: Your Participation in the 2010 Combined Federal Campaign is Still Needed!

This is the last week for active Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA) solicitation. This morning we topped 93 percent of our $3.9 million target. Our goal is in sight.

Have you already taken part in this important cause? If not, I ask you again to join the rest of us and consider the power that you as an individual can have in support of our community. Charitable giving is down in many areas, and the 4,000 charities supported by the CFCNCA need your help now more than ever. Please give.

The 2010 CFCNCA solicitation period ends January 17, 2011. So it’s important that you act now. See your Keyworker if you need forms or additional information.

Please visit the Commerce CFCNCA Web site, www.census.gov/cfc, for the “Top Ten Reasons to Give to the CFCNCA.” You will find other useful information on the site, including the list of CFCNCA charities and ways to give to the CFCNCA.

Thank you in advance for your support of the CFCNCA. Working together, our compassion as individuals will create the power of community – and help us reach our goal this week.
