Dear Fellow State Employees,

"I am thrilled by what I have seen this past year during our annual California State Employees Charitable Campaign (CSECC). Despite challenging economic times, State employees remained extraordinarily generous. At a time when most people would expect you to be stepping back from community support, literally thousands of you have stepped up your commitment. I do not need to tell you how much the nonprofit community needs your support in these difficult times. Your continued generosity ensures that the state’s nonprofit sector can continue to provide a critical safety net in California.

I also want express my gratitude to the hundreds of volunteers who work on the CSECC campaign: You have been tremendous. Your hard work is making a real difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Californians. Thanks and keep up the great work!  I am truly looking forward to another great campaign."
