Memorandum

To:	All Judges and Court of Appeals Personnel
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	State Charitable Contributions Program 1997-98
Date:	September 5, 1997

The 1997-98 State Charitable Contributions Program campaign has begun. The attached brochure lists the charities participating in the program. Please make your selection and return the contribution form to the Fiscal Office. The form must be signed and returned even if you do not intend to participate.

Payroll deduction is available for you to contribute to any of the charities you choose from the list or you may opt to give a gift of cash, check or money order. Any contribution you make will be graciously received for such a worthy cause.

Last year the campaign raised $2,349,296. This year's goal is 2.5 million. Last year the Court of Appeals contributed $4,531.00.

Please take a moment to look over the brochure and make your pledge. As always, I have two goals for the Court of Appeals during the Charitable Contributions Program. One, 100% participation from the Court and two is to exceed the previous year's total. Now is the time you can return some of your very own blessings to help those less fortunate.

Thank you.
