**It's campaign time at work....are you a federal worker?

CFC, or Combined Federal Campaign, is the payroll deduction plan for charity that's used by all federal government workers. Every federal employee selects a charity to which she/he wants her or his donation to go. If you are (or if you know) a federal worker, we hope that you'll choose, or ask the worker to choose, the Autoimmune Diseases Association at pledge time this fall. Our CFC number is 10548.
