A Message From the Campaign Manager Greetings From the Maryland Charity Campaign! We are in full swing for the 2006 Giving Season. It's hard to believe the time has flown by so quickly. It has been my pleasure to meet many of you at the various kickoffs or special events held by agencies around the state. The 2006 campaign overall goal for MCC is to raise $4 Million. This will directly support our friends, family, co-workers and neighbors right here in Maryland. To date we have raised $2.5 Million! Congratulations and Thank You to everyone who has made a contribution. As you can see we still have a way to go in reaching our goal. The official end date of our campaign was November 17th. Please correspond with your Loaned Executives for any additional pickups. If your department has wrapped up the campaign please consider one last push for a few extra donations. Attached is a document giving specific information on incentives that coordinators are eligible for as well as the criteria for departmental awards this year. There will be a final event for all coordinators following the campaign. The time and date are still to be announced. Please be on the look out for an invitation to arrive after the holidays. Thank you all very much for your hard work and dedication the Maryland Charity Campaign - we couldn't do it without you! Sincerely, Kelly Perry
