 * From Cheryl Hinton, United Way Chair:**

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am pleased to have been named as the United Way Campaign Chair for Stevenson University this year. As such, I would like to take this opportunity to invite members of the Stevenson community to join me in contributing to the United Way of Central Maryland. The Campaign will run for the month of October. I hope that you will take a moment to consider this request.

None of us would hesitate to help a neighbor in need--whether that involves looking in on someone sick, or shoveling a walkway for someone elderly, or just keeping an eye on neighbors’ property while they are away. That’s what neighbors do--it’s what we all do.

By giving through the United Way, there is an easy way to do a little bit more. Budget deficits have severely reduced our state and local governments’ abilities to cope with pressing human service needs in Central Maryland. Many private agencies that provide relief and support have also experienced declines in their revenue. They look to the United Way to try to see that no one in our area goes hungry, that no mother is left in the cold with her children, that every child has a safe and caring place to go after school.

Please consider this as your United Way Ambassador requests your support. The Ambassadors this year are **Sara Ballesteros**, **Linda Monk**, **Alan Penczek**, **Kate Wyatt**, **Sue Rubino**, **Curtis Spencer**, **Sylvia Schiaffino**, and **Liz Schuman**. We hope you will join us in giving to the 2010 United Way campaign. There really is no better way to easily and effectively help so many people here in our own community.

Thank you,

Cheryl Hinton Director, Multicultural Affairs
