NORTH COAST CFC KICKED OFF ON 9/9/09!
The North Coast CFC completed a very successful and well-attended launch of the 2009 North
Coast Combined Federal Campaign. This year’s event combined the usual Social and Kick-off
into one event, and the program was conducted as a breakfast event. Agency heads and directors
attended and committed to support the campaign in meeting the 2009 goal of $2,150,000. The Kick-off/Social
was followed in the afternoon by a “Day of Caring” opportunity with charitable organizations
offering both work projects and tours for Federal employees desiring to participate.
A CFC DONOR COULD BENEFIT FROM THE
GENEROSITY OF AN ANONYMOUS DONOR

All donors who make an annual pledge through payroll deductions will be eligible to win this very generous prize. With just about three weeks all Federal employees still have time to support their favorite charities and become eligible for this special drawing at the end of the campaign.
