<br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />I am going to "put my money where my mouth is." My wife, Margaret, and I are giving $100 to the <br />fund, and I will be asking my fellow Umatilla County Commissioners to have Umatilla County make a <br />contribution equal to our NACo dues. That figure is $1,250. Both are a little bit, but if we all do a little <br />bit, much will be accomplished. Everything raised will go to the Parish and County Family Fund. <br /> <br />Lastly, I have appointed a task force oflocal officials to help guide this project. NACo 1st Vice <br />President Eric Coleman will serve as chair. I have asked the four NACo Board members from the three <br />states to serve on the committee, as well as Greg Cox, President of the California State Association of <br />Counties, NACo Board member Don Larson of South Dakota and Bob Bohlmann of York County, <br />Maine who is on the NACo Board representing the Emergency Managers Affiliate. <br /> <br />Please send a donation today to the Parish and County Family Fund. Contributions of all sizes to the <br />fund are welcome. Please share this information with your employees. I encourage your county, county <br />officials, employees and citizens to contribute to the fund. <br /> <br />Counties Care for America is used by NACo to describe what counties do. We do care and we now have <br />an opportunity to put action to our words. Thank you for your help. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill Hansell <br />NACo President <br /> <br />The Parish and County Family Fund <br />All money raised through the Parish and County Family Fund will be distributed to counties and <br />parishes and their employees in need in the hardest hit states. The distribution \yill be handled by state <br />associations of counties/parishes for Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. <br /> <br />Under federal law, this donation is tax deductible as a charitable contribution for Federal Income Tax <br />purposes. NACo will pay for all administrative costs related to managing the fund. In addition, NACo <br />will seek reports from the state associations to keep us up-to-date on how the money is being spent. <br /> <br />Here's how to contribute: <br /> <br />.
