Posted on Sept. 20: Campaign raises awareness among faculty, staff, retirees

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/campaign1.jpg” caption=”Community Campaign”]McMaster's 2002 Community Campaign got off to a great start Wednesday at the annual faculty, staff, and retiree kick-off event. The country and western themed barbeque took place under sunny skies on the Frank C. Miller terrace of the McMaster University Student Centre. The terrace was transformed into a country and western paradise, complete with bales of hay, barrels of apples, and red and white gingham.

More than 150 guests, including 20 retirees, attended the event. Faculty, staff, and retirees were treated to a barbeque lunch while Patsy Cline tunes played in the background. Evan Mackintosh, McMaster Students Union president, and Peter George, President and Vice-Chancellor, explained the vital importance of support from the faculty, staff and retirees to the past, present and future success of McMaster University.

The Community Campaign, which begins each fall, aims to raise awareness and participation among faculty, staff and retirees and to encourage the McMaster community to support the University's fundraising goals.
