Dear
Fellow
Employees
and
Retirees,
As
a
long-time
state
employee
and
MSEA-SEIU
member,
I’ve
been
honored
for
the
past
several
years
to
be
a
member
of
the
Maine
State
Employees’
Combined
Charitable
Appeal’s
Planning
and
Admissions
Committee,
the
group
that
oversees
the
campaign.
This
year
marks
MSECCA’s
30th
anniversary,
and
each
year
I’m
struck
by
the
generosity
of
you,
my
brothers
and
sisters,
who
pledge
your
hard-earned
dollars
to
help
others
in
your
communities
and
around
the
world.
While
our
own
pocketbooks
haven’t
been
spared
during
these
hard
times,
we
know
that
many
are
worse
off,
the
victims
of
unemployment,
illness,
violence,
and
other
misfortunes.
As
public
servants,
we’re
helpful
by
nature,
and
MSECCA
enables
us
to
cast
a
wider
safety
net
to
reinforce
the
good
work
we
do
every
day.
If
everyone
gave
just
a
little,
we
could
easily
meet
our
$400,000
goal.
The
campaign
ends
on
December
18,
and
you
can
give
online

Thanks
for
your
support.
