** Secretary Cuomo Asks Employees to Support the CFC
** New Buyout Period Begins
********************
A Message from Secretary Cuomo
Welcome back. I hope each of you enjoyed a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. This
first week of December marks the beginning of the
traditional year-end holiday season, a time of giving,
sharing and celebration.
This season also marks the last weeks of the Combined
Federal Campaign (CFC), which offers Federal employees
an effective way to help organizations across America
that make our communities better places to live and
work. I urge you to participate in the Campaign.
The 1997 CFC Catalog of Caring you received recently
from a volunteer keyworker in your office lists almost
3,500 charitable entities eligible to receive employee
contributions. Take a few moments to go through the
catalog. In it, you will see organizations working
hard on issues important to you -- organizations that
will be able to continue and expand their efforts
thanks to the generosity of HUD employees and our
colleagues in the Federal government.
Through your giving, you help people in need in your
community and throughout the world. In the spirit of
this holiday season, please consider giving generously
to the CFC.
