Re: BEAR

Mark: I am mobilizing my team to make this work for this year! I agree
that we should move on it for this holiday season...Laura Schwartz, our PR
manager, is talking with KRBE about their interest and how to make it
happen. Charla Reese on my team has also contacted the Cycling Club to see
if they are interested in doing a drive. I am happy to send you our Matching
Gift form and our VIP (Volunteer Incentive Program) form for you to
complete. Misha Siegel can answer any questions about Matching Gifts and VIP.

Would you like to continue to get updates as we move forward on this instead
of a formal meeting - its your call - just let me know and I am happy to set
one up. My suggestion is that we wait to hear from KRBE and then we meet
with Joann from BEAR to talk about implementation.

I like the first one a lot. Could we do it for this Christmas? I would hate
to wait a whole year. I also think the last one is a good idea. Let me know
what I can do to help.

Cindy and Mark: The Community Relations team has brainstormed ways to
support BEAR during the holiday season, specifically with their bike drive.
One note, Enron already adopts an entire needy Elementary School for the
holiday seaso, and our employees adopt each child in the school by donating
money, etc. to provide supplies and clothing for the children, so I am a bit
concerned about another big employee drive during the holidays.

However, we have a number of ideas that I will share below, knowing that it
may take some time to schedule a meeting for the three of us:

1. Partner with 104 KRBE to promote a Bike Drive in partnership with Sun &
Ski Sports (one of KRBE's sponsors). Enron could pay for the advertising
dollars and Sun & Ski could get shoppers to make donations toward buying
bikes. Laura Schwartz is exploring KRBE's appetite for something like this.

2. BEAR/CPS table at our December 1 Big E Cafe which highlights ways for
employees can get involved throughout the community during the holidays.
BEAR could use the opportunity to ask for donations as well as offer
volunteer opportunities.

3. Partner with the Enron Cycling Club to donate bikes - leverage their
connections with local bike stores. These employees might be more likely to
want to donate.

2. Utilize Matching Dollars (up to $15,000 per employee annually) if Mark or
other employees are interested in contributing. Additionally, if Mark or
other employees volunteer with BEAR, using VIP dollars (up to $2500) to pay
for bikes.

Please let me know your thoughts, so that we can pursue some of these
opportunities.
