A Message from Secretary Perez
Dear State Employees and State Retirees:
Everyday, each one of you goes the extra mile to improve the lives of Marylanders. The O'Malley-Brown Administration recognizes your devoted public service and appreciates your commitment to the Maryland Charity Campaign.
As we travel throughout Maryland, we hear the stories of our fellow citizens in need. These needs take many forms and exist in every corner of our state. This year, there are a record number of non-profit organizations who are part of the Maryland Charity Campaign network. These organizations perform critical services. The people and communities they serve will benefit immensely from your generosity.
Whether you have become affiliated with these organizations because of your generous donation of resources and time, or because of receiving help for someone in need, you understand the importance of having the services of these charitable organizations.
The theme of the 2007 Maryland Charity Campaign is, "Together We Make A World Of Difference". With your support, we can indeed make a world of difference. Please take this opportunity to direct your hard earned dollars to those non-profits that have a special place within your life. In advance, thank you for your generosity and compassion in making our state a better place to live and work.
Sincerely,
Secretary Thomas Perez
