YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE:  PARTICIPATE IN UNITED WAY 
THIS YEAR

Today marks the beginning of this year's UCAR/NCAR Boulder 
County United Way Campaign.  Boulder County United Way is an 
independent, nonprofit fund-raising corporation and volunteer 
organization whose mission is "to enhance the capacity of the 
community to meet the human service needs of its people."

"I think it's important to provide employees with a way to contribute 
to the community of which we are a part," says NCAR director Bob 
Serafin.  The UCAR/NCAR Boulder County United Way campaign 
does just that:  it provides employees with the opportunity to 
participate in building a better community.

Staff may contribute to Boulder County United Way (which serves 
Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, and Louisville), to any other United 
Way agency, or to any nonprofit, tax-exempt organization.  By 
contributing through our annual campaign, employees can take 
advantage of having their contributions made through payroll 
deduction.

This year's United Way Campaign theme is participation.  "It is our 
hope that all employees will choose to take part in the campaign, 
regardless of the size of their donation," says Bob.  In future Staff Notes 
articles, committee members will highlight staff who volunteer for, or 
who have been helped by, a Boulder County United WayÐfunded 
agency.

If you have any questions about the UCAR/NCAR campaign or about 
Boulder County United Way, please contact any one of the committee 
members listed below.  Thanks for your support!  --Rachel Ames
