The 2009 Employee Contribution Campaign is about to begin here at BVSD. I believe it is always important to give back to our communities in whatever way we can, but this year it is particularly important. Financial times are very hard everywhere in the nation. When times are hard, the agencies that help people in need get more requests than ever for assistance. Compounding the problem is that these agencies often receive less funding during these tough economic times.

 

If you always make a contribution during our yearly contribution campaign, thank you. If you never have before, I hope you will decide to do so this year. Our goal in this year’s campaign is to raise the participation rate from last year’s 13 percent to a full 40 percent. If we reach this goal, I promise to shave my head and post a photo of myself with said shaved head on the front page of our website for a full week and here in my blog for several months afterward.

 

Please watch your mail for details about the Employee Contribution Campaign.

 

Our dollars have never mattered more.
