Help unit ‘feed 5 for 5’ CANANDAIGUA — Finger Lakes Community College Unit members will host the second annual “CSEA Feeding 5 for 5 Walk” on Nov. 15 in Canandaigua. Through the walk, the unit is seeking to raise money to provide five families with three meals per day for five days. The workers’ goal is to feed five families in each of three Ontario County cities: Canandaigua, Geneva, and Victor; and in Newark in Wayne County. That’s a total of 60 meals to feed a total of 20 families for a full school week. To accomplish their goal, the CSEA Finger Lakes Community College Unit needs your help. Last year’s event raised enough money to feed only five families. To feed all 20 families, the amount raised will need to increase. Registration for the event is $20 with a CSEA T-shirt included and $10 without a T-shirt. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk at 10 a.m. The event begins at Kershaw Park. For information or to register, call Finger Lakes Community College Unit President Charlie Fine at (585) 785-1900. All donations raised will be given to the Salvation Army. Any funds over the amount needed to feed five families for five days in each of four cities will be retained by the Salvation Army and used toward the organization’s mission. — Lynn Miller Kelly is PEOPLE Recruiter of the Month Kathleen Kelly of the Central New York Developmental Disabilities Services Office Local in the Central Region is the PEOPLE Recruiter of the Month for September. She recruited 13 new PEOPLE members. “The PEOPLE Program is important because we can’t use our dues to support the politicians who support us on the federal level,” said Kelly, a developmental assistant II who serves as secretary of her local. “Regardless of their party, we need to have people in Washington Kelly who are looking out for us. The PEOPLE program helps us ensure that.” CSEA’s PEOPLE program protects and improves our jobs, benefits and pensions in Washington, Albany and in your community. Your support and participation in PEOPLE strengthens CSEA’s clout in the workplace, in the legislature, in your community and in the labor movement. — Mark M. Kotzin November 2014 The Work Force 13
