Dear Colleagues,
Saturday, November 19th is the official close of the MU Libraries 2011 United Way Campaign. We are delighted to announce that many of us have pledged and contributed to the effort. For that generosity we have the sincere gratitude of the numerous charities that comprise the United Way. There are still a few of us who have no doubt thought about joining in this communitywide effort but have just not found the few seconds required to actually complete the process. If that is true for you, we urge you please to find those few seconds now.
You can go to the United Way link to pledge online www.unitedway.missouri.edu. Or if you prefer, contact Mark Ellis (104 Ellis Library), Mary Hainen, Ann Riley or Paula Roper. Anyone of these individuals would be delighted to assist. You might think that what you have to share is very minimal and the need is so great. However by giving through the United Way, our small gifts are amplified. Just a few dollars to the United Way accomplishes the phenomenal: feeding the hungry, guiding the young, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, assisting the sick . .
Also don’t forget that participation in the campaign makes you eligible for prizes donated by the United Way leadership team. Moreover employees of the MU libraries who pledge by November 18, 2011 will have their names entered in a drawing for these gifts as well:
- A $10 Bookmark Café gift certificate
- Concert series tickets
- A $25 campus bookstore gift certificate
- $100
Thanks to everyone who has pledged and those of you who will pledge.
Yours united,
Mary Hainen Anne Riley Paula Roper
