The 2008 Campaign was truly the best ever, raising
$946,869.
Spectacular! That is a 9+% increase over the 2007 Campaign. You
guys are awesome!!! Every year is a record breaking year and I
so look forward to working with you next year – hopefully to
break the $1 million mark! Wouldn’t that be fabulous? See the
attached reports for all the fantastic results!
I hope to see
you Tuesday at the Awards function. Please let us know if
you cannot attend, that will keep us from having to carry so
many things to the Capitol to just bring back. We would VERY
much appreciate it.
Congratulations to the following Departments/Agencies and
Coordinators for making goal in the final weeks:
 | Heating and A/C Board – 170.73% of Goal
