Show 8 Oct. 7, 1993 Hilltop Times by Capt. Roger Westermeyer CFC publicity chairman . . The Hill AFB Combined Federal Campaign will kick off this year's drive next Tuesday, with a goal to raise more than $500,000 for charity. CFC is the once-a-yeauthorized canvassing of federal employees to raise funds for approximately 1,100 local, national and international charities. This year's campaign, with a theme of "The Power of Caring," will run for three weeks. Hill workers, both civilian and military, will be asked to contribute to the charity of their choice through cash donations or payroll deductions. "Payroll deduction is the most painless way to help so many," said Ivern Pyne, this year's CFC project officer. Each year, CFC contributions go to help hundreds of needy people across the country get medical treatment, overcome handicaps and get special education and support. There are 244 local agencies that are eligible for support through CFC. Most of this year's donations will go to help flood victims in the Mississippi and Missouri River valleys. Last year Hill workers contributed more than $625,000, which amounted to 38 percent of all CFC contributions made in the state of Utah.

Chelsea's mother, Pam, told luncheon attendees that Chelsea, a Down syndrome child, will benefit from CFC contributions. At percent of the base population contributed an average of $87, according to figures compiled from last year's campaign. Continued from last year are the two traveling awards for highest average contributions for organizations with 250 or more employees and those with 249 or less. Last year's winners were the Contracting Directorate and Small Business Office, respectively. d To help set the pace, the ICBM System Program Office ran its campaign early, and with only a few Silo-base- days left in their campaign, they are already doing very well. FRI. 10:00-5:0- 0 MON.-THUR- S. NOW OPEN SATURDAYS Eagle Club membership is offered as another incentive to give. First-tim- e members are presented with a bronze eagle on a wooden base with an engraved name plaque, year indicator and membership-typ-e insignia. More than 1,000 of last year's contributors were Eagle Club members. "We're more encouraged than ever that we can meet or exceed last year's figure," said SMSgt. Bill Copp, this year's Eagle Club project officer. Like last year, each directorate established its own goal based on the number of workers and last year's contribution levels. Employees are encouraged to designate where they want their money to go. "The best way to ensure your dollars go where you want them to go is to designate. We would love it if everyone took that extra few minutes and told us where they want their money to be donated," Pyne said. "Our intention is that everyone should have the opportunity to give to the charity of their choice. There's no coercion here there's no need for it Utah is known for the giving spirit and generosity of its people." A key worker will be contacting each employee within the next two weeks. It is your chance to touch a life with your contribution. 10:00-5:3- 0 LOGAN HOUSE A Bed and Breakfast Inn 10:00-2:0- 0 - Welcome To H , Porches Fireplaces Whirlpool Tubs Full Complimentary Breakfast '' 4-Y- OU Amenities of a Fine Hotel Worth the Short Beautiful Drive to Logan 168 N. 100 East 1580 SOUTH STATE CLEARFIELD NOW OPEN!!!
