Maine State Employees Combined Charitable Appeal - 2011

September, 2011

Dear Maine State Employees:

Volunteers can change the world. They make an enormous difference in communities here in Maine. Volunteers save lives and offer hope to those in need. Too often, however, their volunteer service goes unrecognized.

This year’s Maine State Employees Combined Charitable Appeal (MSECCA) is very special, as it’s being dedicated to the MSECCA volunteers who have given hundreds of hours to this worthy cause. Some have served as their agency’s MSECCA representative for more than 20 years. Through good economic times and challenging periods, these volunteers have worked tirelessly to help their coworkers contribute to the charities of their choice.

We hope you’ll join us in thanking the MSECCA volunteers listed on the “Volunteer” page of this website. Their job is never easy, but they do it with energy, creativity and determination. They understand that workplace giving campaigns, like MSECCA, are conducted in government agencies and businesses throughout the country---and they’re vitally important to charities in Maine and across the United States.

Last year, MSECCA volunteers were instrumental in helping generous Maine State Employees and Retirees contribute approximately $330,000 to the charities of their choice. During the 31 year history of MSECCA, roughly $6 million have been raised to support charitable organizations.

If you’re likely to contribute to any charities in 2012, we encourage you to consider doing it through MSECCA. It’s a one-stop way of making sure your donation reaches the organizations you wish to benefit. The online process is simple, secure and available anytime at www.maine.gov/msecca.

Thank you for considering MSECCA as your avenue for making charitable contributions, and special thanks to the volunteers who make it all possible! Together, we will continue to change lives and strengthen Maine communities.

Sincerely,

Paul R. LePage                         Anne L. Head, Commissioner
