ASK for Others to Contribute Personalize your comments Advertise payroll deduction Ask for a contribution Remember: No is okay

Food For Thought If half of the 38,000 federal employees in across the Metroplex— donated $10.00 per pay check, the campaign would raise almost $5 million! donated $15.00 per pay check, the campaign would raise almost $7.5 million!

The #1 reason federal workers do not give?? “NO ONE ASKED ME!!”

 Thank everyone you speak with.  It takes several “thank you’s” before a person truly feels appreciated.
