Area United Way (GAUW)- GISD will kick-off its annual United Way campaign
this coming week. Each employee has the opportunity to help Build a Bridge for
our community by donating to the GAUW. 100% of your donation stays in our local
community to assist the following agencies:
Bethel Children’s
Day Care
Graham Backpack
Buddies
Graham Girls
Softball
Graham Youth
Baseball
Meals-On-Wheels
Salvation
Army-Graham Unit
Senior Citizens
Center
Virginia’s House

Child Welfare
The initial phase of our campaign begins
this coming week when you receive your preprinted United Way pledge/donation
form from your supervisor or department/campus administrative assistant. You
can choose to provide a one-time donation or to donate via payroll deduction
over 10 or 12 months. The deadline to contribute during the first phase will be
Friday, September 6th.
To add a little friendly competition to
our campaign we will run two contests during the first phase of our campaign:
● The
campus/department that has the highest percentage of people that contribute
$100 or more will win a Hamburger/Hot Dog Lunch prepared by Sonny Cruse, Don
Davis and Robert Loomis.
● The
campus/department that has the highest percentage of people that contribute $20
or more will win a free drink from Sonic.
The competition is just for fun. Please
keep in mind that every donation is a good donation and can help Build a Bridge
for someone in our community!
Lessons
From a Pencil Maker
A pencil maker shared five important
lessons with the pencil just before putting it in the box:
1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A
MARK.
2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES
YOU MAKE.
3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE
OF YOU.
4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL
SHARPENINGS, WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.
5.) TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW
YOURSELF TO BE HELD AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS YOU.
We all need to be constantly sharpened. I
hope this parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with
unique God-given talents and abilities.
Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and
think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the
pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are is what's
inside of you.
Have a great day… unless you have chosen
otherwise!
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY
