Faculty and staff invited to join McIntyre Library fundraiser
McIntyre Library logoThe McIntyre Library annual holiday fundraising project is under way. As in years past, library faculty and staff are raising funds to purchase rice for the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association. The HMAA is a social service agency that serves the local Hmong community in a number of ways.

For more than a decade, the McIntyre Library Staff Association has held a fundraiser through which library staff have made voluntary contributions totaling thousands of dollars. In recent years Learning and Technology staff joined the library in this endeavor, and last year their combined contributions of $700 purchased 1,500 pounds of rice for the HMAA food pantry. Many families rely on this service for their basic sustenance.

Because people outside the library have expressed an interest in contributing, this year the library is welcoming others on campus to participate. If you choose to participate, please make checks payable to McIntyre Library Staff Association and submit them to Dan Hillis, Staff Association treasurer, 5012 McIntyre Library, by  Friday, Dec. 7. Names of donors will be included on a card accompanying the donation and given to the HMAA. Donors who wish to remain anonymous should indicate their preference. For more information, contact Jill Markgraf at markgrjs@uwec.edu or 836-5357. Go to top of page
