Dear Colleagues,

The MU Libraries’ Heart of Missouri United Way 2012 Campaign got off to a great start. Let’s take advantage of the momentum and go to  https://secureas.missouri.edu/unitedway to pledge or just look over the information provided. Remember that you don’t have to commit a huge sum of money to help our community. Even a few dollars utilized efficiently—as the United Way is known to do–can make a significant difference for someone in need.

Additionally,  pledging gives you the opportunity to do something for yourself–other than just feeling good about doing the right thing. By pledging or just acknowledging a visit to the online site, you become eligible for prizes, big prizes. At the URL indicated you can read about some of the really nice dividends the MU United Way Campaign is awarding over the next month. Additionally, the MU Libraries has some really wonderful prizes for pledging as well, including a $100 cashier’s check, gift cards from Target, the bookstore, and the Bookmark, plus university concert tickets.

If you would prefer good old fashioned paper as the medium for your pledge, please print the online form and send it to Mark Ellis, 104 Ellis Library, 882-9169,  EllisMW@missouri.edu. If you have any questions/comments about the campaign, please contact Mark or one of the Tri-Chairs (Mary Hainen, 52 Ellis. 882-4814, HainenM@missouri.edu; Ann Riley, 52 Ellis,  882-1685 RileyAC@missouri.edu; Paula Roper, 168 Ellis, 8823326, RoperP@missouri.edu).

Additionally your gift helps demonstrate to the entire campus community the incredible commitment to philanthropic action that so characterizes the team of the MU Libraries.

Thank you,

Mary Hainen, Ann Riley, and Paula Roper  – MU Libraries United Way Campaign Committee
