UNITED WAY APPEAL

To All College Employees

Once again, United Way is asking for our support on their annual
campaign.

While there has been a modest improvement in the economy over the
past 2 years, thousands of people in the Lower Mainland remain dependent upon
services of organizations funded through the United Way - many of which
employ our graduates.

This level of need is certain to continue over the next year, with
same possibility that it could increase significantly.

We know that many people working in Douglas College doubt the
appropriateness of services dependent upon volunteer contribution.

Nevertheless, the reality of the situation is that we as a group,
by any measure, are fortunate. The organizations that are soliciting your
support through the United Way provide services to those who are markedly
less fortunate than ourselves. They also provide services that we also use,
such as the Red Cross, which we all expect to be there when required, but
epee think of-as totally dependent upon the generosity of the general
public.

Before making your decision, we ask that you review the literature
that will be available during the month of November.

A number of groups will be staging events calculated to heighten
awareness of the appeal, and also to provide additional colour to College
activities during the month. We hope that you will find them enjoyable.
