Kinda proud

I'm kinda proud of my company today - or rather my co-workers. This is an email from the CEO of the company...

At this morning’s United Way campaign finale, we announced another
record-breaking pledge of $8,100,627.35, which is more than 15 percent above
last year’s record-breaking year at $7,016,935.

When
combined with the dollar-for-dollar Nationwide Foundation match, the total
pledge is $16 million. This will benefit more than 750 United Way agencies
across the country in communities where we live and work.

With
tragedies such as the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, the need to support your
communities is greater than ever. Associates, agents and retirees joined forces
to generously contribute to these United Way Relief Funds: more than $174,000 to
the Tsunami Relief Fund and more than $300,000 to the Hurricane Katrina
Fund.

Please join me in thanking our 2005 United Way campaign chair
Jim Burke, and all the volunteers who worked so hard to ensure another
successful campaign.

Thank you for investing in what matters.
