Partnering for Change to Make a Difference: The 2008 CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving
The annual CUNY Campaign for Voluntary Charitable Giving is underway, and I write to encourage you to participate. This important fund-raising effort offers each of us an opportunity to contribute to any of more than nine hundred social service, health, and educational organizations serving the city, the nation, and the world. Closer to home, the campaign also includes CUNY named scholarship funds and the Brooklyn College Foundation.
Ms. Connie DiGeronimo, from Institutional Advancement, serves as this year’s Brooklyn College campaign coordinator. She will send you information about the campaign, along with a brochure that lists the many participating charitable organizations included.
You can also ask questions of one of the captains from the various offices on campus:

Stress Reduction through Acupuncture
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Alumni Lounge, Student Center
Noon to 2 p.m.
The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! If you’re already starting to stress out about your long gift list, equally long lines at the mall, and a holiday dinner menu for a dozen relatives that will keep you cooking for days, Human Resources has just the thing for you.
Dr. Warner Chen, who has been trained at New York University and Harvard in ways to relieve pain through acupuncture, will help participants in this seminar discover how stress negatively affects the body. He will discuss the simple things that can be done at work and at home to reduce the negative effects of stress. He will also present methods for reducing physical stress and tension by locating trigger points.
Enter the raffle for a session with Dr. Chen and other therapeutic gifts!
Space is limited, so reserve your seat early.
