WEEL will be participating in the State Employee Charitable Giving Campaign that runs for 6 weeks September 27^th to November 8^th, 2010.  This is an annual opportunity for all 14,000 state employees to give to the non-profits of their choice. During these 6 weeks, the second annual Non-Profit Fair for State Employees is going to be held Monday, September 27^th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Capital Rotunda.  There will be free food served from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, as well as a prize drawing at 4:00 PM.  WEEL will have an information table at the Fair.  FYI: The children of Public Employees will soon be able to access CHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program).  Lifting the ban was one of WEEL's number one goals.  Please stop by and learn more about this, and all of the work of WEEL.   If you choose to be a donor and support WEEL, our organization code is 5304.  On behalf of WEEL and all of our staff and volunteers, we would like to thank all of the state employees for your support.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact Lisa Johnson @ 495-0497 or ljohnson@weelempowers.org
