The City of Miami Beach United Way Campaign for year 2000 has been concluded. The generosity of our employees has resulted in a 10% increase over last year's donations. From $56,550.50 to $62,791.44. In 1998 the total City Contribution was $31,443.00, therefore we have doubled the amount of our contributions within a two-year period. This is something we can all be very proud of. These donations will be used to provide services to the many people in our community who are less fortunate than ourselves. A special thanks goes to our Police Chief, Richard Barreto, who for the second year in a row has coordinated our City's effort. In addition, special thanks to our former Parking Director Jackie Gonzalez, for spearheading the Leadership campaign, and to Chief BEeRo's staff, led by Ms.Patricia Reeder, as well as all the ambassadors and employees who helped in this year's campaign. And lastly, but certainly not least, special mention and thanks goes to the employees and directors of the Central Services, Office of Children Affairs, the Media Relations Office, the Information Technology Department, Fleet Management, the Office of Management and Budget, Purchasing, and Internal Audit. Each of these Departments achieved 100% giving! There will be a raffle held on Wednesday, November 22,2000 and all employees who contributed will be eligible for wonderful prizes donated by various private companies, in addition the Mayor will be hosting a luncheon for all Leadership givers in the next few weeks. We all have every reason to be proud of our employees who have unselfishly given of themselves to others, JMG:RRB:DD:PS:MMS:tr (~
