TO: CMTA MEMBERS AND FRIENDS FM: JACK M. STEWART, PRESIDENT RE: HAPPY HOLIDAYS In the spirit of this holiday season, California Manufacturers & Technology Association is pleased to congratulate IBM as the recipient of the 2001 Excellence in Corporate Philanthropy Award. IBM was honored both for its level of corporate giving and for the number of community service hours performed by IBM employees. IBM has been a CMTA member since 1947. In a larger sense, CMTA salutes all manufacturers for their extraordinary level of giving this year and in years past. From Andrew Carnegie to Louis Gerstner, manufacturers have been the heart and soul of American philanthropy. Think of what California manufacturers have given us: David Packard's generosity created the world renown Monterey Bay Aquarium; J. Paul Getty and his foundation brought one of the world's greatest art collections to Los Angeles; ARCO, now BP, provided the initial funding for the state of the art ARCO Olympic Training Center in San Diego; and earlier this month, Intel co-founder, Gordon Moore announced a $281 million gift to Conservation International, the largest gift ever given to a private conservation group. California manufacturers have a rich history of community involvement and the staff at CMTA takes great pride in representing their interests in Sacramento. We thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to working with each of you for a successful 2002. http://www.cmta.net/archive/121901ibmaward.shtml
