Los Alamos National Security employees can contribute to an Asia Disaster Recovery Fund through the Laboratory’s United Way campaign. By choosing this option, donations will be designated to the Asia Disaster Recovery Fund and handled through the United Way of Northern New Mexico.
United Way created the Asia Disaster Recovery Fund to support long-term recovery and construction efforts in China and Myanmar in response to the devastation caused by an earthquake in the Sichuan Province of China on May 12, and a cyclone in Myanmar on May 2.
Los Alamos National Security, LLC, matched employee donations made through the United Way, dollar for dollar, up to $1 million in the Lab's recent United Way campaign. LANS had committed up to $1 million in matching funds; the current 2008 UW campaign is at approximately $800,000. Any pledges made before June 10 will be matched to the $1 million limit.
Employees can donate in the following ways:
• Checks made out to the United Way of Northern New Mexico – Asia Disaster Recovery Fund. Mail checks to LANL CFO-TPT, Mail Stop P231
• One-time payroll deduction (in the June 19 paycheck). To arrange for the payroll deduction, contact Debbi Wersonick of the Community Programs Office (CPO) at sonic@lanl.gov by electronic mail.
The deadline to make a donation either by check or payroll deduction is June 10.
For more information, contact Wersonick at 5-4400 or sonic@lanl.gov.
