As you know, Enron=01,s United Way Executive Solicitation is well under way=
. =20 August 9th is the target date to achieve 100% participation and finalize th= e=20 commitment from our executives and is also the date for the kickoff of the= =20 company wide drive. We have a way to go to meet this objective. As of=20 August 3rd less than 25% of our executives have turned in their pledge. =20 Enron=01,s United Way goal for the year is $2.3 million (before the corpora= te=20 match). ENA=01,s share of this goal is $346,500. While these are aggressiv= e=20 goals, they are very doable, and if everyone contributes their fair share, = we=20 can easily surpass these goals.=20 Along with focusing on meeting our financial goals, I=01,d like to have 100= %=20 participation throughout the organization. This is especially important=20 among our executives. We define "participation" as an employee who has=20 completed their pledge on-line and made a contribution, no matter what the= =20 level. I am a proud member of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, which is a=20 contributor of $10,000 or more and have pledged significantly more this yea= r=20 than last year. Enron has 39 members of this Society, only 5 of which are= =20 from ENA. I would like to see this number increase significantly and if yo= u=20 are able, I would like you to consider stepping up to this level. Given th= e=20 fact that Enron executives are highly compensated with generous options and= =20 bonus program, I encourage each of you to at least become a member of the= =20 "Make a Difference" Club, which is a contribution of 1.2% of your annual=20 salary. I would also challenge each of you to increase your pledge this=20 year, regardless of your level of giving last year. =20 With the campaign going on-line with electronic pledging, I=01,ll need the= =20 support of you and your campaigners to increase participation levels across= =20 the ENA organization and reach our financial goals. Whatever your decision= =20 regarding the level of your pledge, we need 100% participation from our=20 Executives in order to set a good example for the rest of ENA. Your=20 contribution to the United Way will continue to make a difference in our=20 community. When you give, you change a life right here in our community. Please join me in setting the standard for ENA by giving generously and=20 getting your pledges in by August 9th. Log-in to system on Netscape or Explorer -- unitedway.enron.com
