Please give generously to this year's Combined Charities Campaign
Soon, the 2009 Combined Charities Campaign will be swinging into high gear. MAPE wholeheartedly endorses the Combined Charities Campaign, which runs during the month of October this year. We encourage all MAPE members to generously donate to these very worthwhile causes.

We would like to thank those MAPE members who have participated in past campaigns for their continued support. With your help, the campaign raised more than $1 million last year. We also encourage MAPE members who are not yet participants to consider the Combined Charities Campaign as a candidate for your charitable donation dollars.

With these challenging times, it is even more critical that we help out to the greatest extent possible.

Union members who work in state service have been extremely generous in their support of the Combined Charities Campaign in the past. We know that MAPE members will help to make this the case once again this year.
