A Message from the 2011 Chair: January 3, 2012
To the University Community:
I wish to express my sincere thanks to all that participated in this year's Connecticut State Employees' Campaign for Charitable Giving. As of now, the Storrs campus raised $116,517!
The 2011 CSEC campaign would not have been as successful without the continual support of President Herbst and her office, Provost Nicholls and the efforts of his staff, University Communications, the wonderful people at the Document Production Center, Mail Services, the Central Warehouse, and Facilities. Prizes for our drawing were donated by the Jorgenson Center for the Performing Arts, the UConn Co-op, the Benton Museum, Athletics, and the Provost. I would also like to thank Maria Sedotti, the 2010 chair, for her guidance and support.
Remember, we always accept late pledge forms! Please mail the completed pledge form to U-2086 (Attn: Brandon) or scan it and email it to csec@uconn.edu.
Best wishes for a happy new year,
Brandon

Fourth-Round Prizes: December 9, 2011
With a random number generator, the four Men's Basketball Tickets were drawn for the CSEC campaign. The Provost generously donated the four tickets to the December 22nd game against Fairfield University. The tickets were won by Christine Crumley.

Letter from Statewide CSEC Chair: December 6, 2011
The Connecticut State Employees' Campaign (CSEC) Committee and I wish to personally thank state employees and retirees for their generosity shown during this fall's campaign. Your donations will allow the participating charitable organizations the opportunity to make a difference in our communities.
As each of us can attest, this has been a tough year for many people. The struggling economy and rising costs are not only affecting many of us but it is also impacting the day to day operations of the CSEC charities.
As of today the campaign has raised roughly $550,000. Last year, total contributions surpassed $1.7 million. For those of you who are still unsure about making a pledge it is not too late to sign up for a bi-weekly contribution, or to make a one time donation. We appreciate your support and ask that if you can to please consider renewing your pledge this year.
A one dollar per pay period pledge, which means an annual gift of $26, (or seven cents a day), will allow for the distribution of 100 missing children's posters. A $3 per pay period contribution, or $78 annual gift (22 cents a day), will provide 50 hot dinners for one hungry person who visits a soup kitchen for meals.
A payroll deduction or one time gift pledge form, as well as more information about the CT State Employees' Campaign, can be found at UConn's CSEC web site (http://csec.uconn.edu) or the State-wide campaign's web site at http://www.csec.ct.gov.
Pledge Forms and Directories are available online or by request (csec@uconn.edu). Mail them to Brandon Murray (U-2086) or scan and email them to csec@uconn.edu.
Please consider making a charitable donation to the CSEC today. It is convenient and efficient for both you and the charities you choose to support.
On behalf of the hundreds of participating charitable organizations, thank you for your continued support and for "Caring for Connecticut...and Beyond."
Sincerely,
Pat Rehmer
Pat Rehmer Commissioner Dept. of Mental Health & Addiction Services, 2011 Statewide Campaign Chair

Letter from the President: October 4, 2011
To the University Community:
We are delighted to announce the beginning of the 2011 Connecticut State Employees’ Campaign!
As the University expands its pursuit of academic, athletic and personal excellence, our spirit of kindness and giving must also expand. Last year’s campaign brought relief and help to countless people through the many charitable organizations our faculty and staff supported. This year, I hope that UConn will once again show its power of giving and generosity during this time of economic trouble in the State.
Our 2011 campaign will run from October 4th to November 15th, and by the campaign’s end, we hope to reach our goal of $120,000.
This goal is both attainable and essential, for it carries a great responsibility for our community at large. We must support the people and organizations that both support us and invest in our people, our ideas and principles.
Any contribution, small or large, is important to our cause. Please visit UConn’s CSEC website, browse the 2011 Directory of Charitable Organizations and consider giving what you can on your Pledge Form. Prizes from around the University will be raffled off at the campaign’s conclusion to those of you who submit Pledge Forms.
In the coming weeks, you will receive periodic and gentle reminders from Brandon Murray, the 2011 coordinator of the Connecticut State Employees' Campaign and a UConn employee in the Provost’s Office and the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Please send your completed pledge forms to Brandon at U-2086 and contact him with any questions at csec@uconn.edu. Thank you again for giving what you can to help those who need us the most.
