Sanchez-Samora and Paula Scarpellino came to the Laboratory last week to give out the bags - each bag had a cookie, carton of milk, thank you note and information about United Way of Santa Fe County - as a token of thanks to Lab employees for their support of the Santa Fe United Way program. About 100 bags were given to Lab employees who ride the park-and-ride buses home. Laboratory employees have been the largest contributors to the United Way of Santa Fe County campaign for seven consecutive years. Laboratory employees pledged or donated $165,000 to the United Way of Santa Fe County's 2006 giving campaign. The amount was matched dollar-for-dollar by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, which operates the Laboratory.
The Laboratory's 2008 United Way giving campaign "There are a Million Reasons to Give," begins September 17 and continues through October 19. Lab employees will receive campaign information at their mail stops.
A campaign kick-off event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., September 17 outside the National Security Sciences and Otowi buildings. A book fair with music, food and United Way agency representatives are part of the kick-off event. Read the Daily NewsBulletin for more information about the Lab's 2008 United Way giving campaign.
