State Employee Charitable Campaign Gets Underway

The 2004 State Employee Charitable Campaign kicked off Aug. 31, with Sam Houston Memorial Museum director Patrick Nolan receiving recognition for making the largest contribution in last year’s campaign.

Nolan was given a plaque and a Bluebonnet Circle lapel pin for being one of only two in the Texas Pine Belt region to contribute in the category. The Bluebonnet Circle category is designated for those who give between $2,500 and $4,999.

All SHSU employees have received, or should soon receive, a charitable campaign contribution form and a copy of the Donation Directory for this year’s campaign.

The campaign will end on Sept. 24, and all completed forms and pledges can be sent to John Holcombe, co-chair and professor of political science, at Box 2149, SHSU.

For additional information, contact one of the SHSU committee members: Holcombe or Laverne Warner, co-chair and professor of early childhood education.
