Now you can easily support the Takoma Park Campus Capital Campaign by shopping at Safeway, simply register with http://wwwescrip.com and 3% of your grocery purchases at Safeway will go directly to the Campaign.  Other credit and debit cards can be registered at their secure site so purchases from additional merchants will add to the balance. Merchants such as Spiegel, Eddie Bauer, the Sharper Image and Office Max are among the many who participate in this program.
 
Proceeds from these purchases will go to an Endowment to assist students by providing scholarships, books, uniforms, physical examinations for certain programs, and daycare needs. By registering your cards, when the card is scanned, a percentage of the sale will electronically be sent to the Takoma Park account.
 
To register, go to the website at www.escrip.com. The Takoma Park Capital Campaign group ID# is 150239498.

Can we count on your support? Please make your donation today. 
Win a $100 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice!
 
All you need to do is make a donation to the Annual Fund for the first time, OR make an on-line gift to the annual fund using our secured website. Either way, your name will be entered into a drawing to receive a $100 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice.
 
Your support has never been more critical than it is today. Montgomery College has recently learned that the major state and county reductions we have been anticipating for some time are upon us. This devastating blow to our funding comes at a time when our enrollment is growing at a phenomenal rate.
 
If you would like to do what you can to improve this difficult situation, the annual fund is the place to direct your gift. Your annual fund donation will send immediate assistance to where the need is greatest, such as urgent scholarship relief, funds for state-of-the-art equipment and technology, building renovation needs, faculty/curricula enhancements, and other critical programs. These are the very areas that are facing the dire consequences of the recent budget cuts.
 
We need an additional $37,923 if we are to reach our annual fund goal of $96,875 by June 30, 2003. We rely on our alumni to show their support of the College by donating to the annual fund.
