<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">Attached is our November newsletter for your review. I also want to talk another opportunity to talk about the Community Giving Campaign. It’s not too late to pledge. Even a small donation of $1 per pay
period or a one-time donation is welcome. It’s easy to give. <b><a href="https://www.upstate.edu/communitygiving/giving/pledge.php">Click this link</a></b> for easy instructions on how to pledge through your Self-Serve account. There are so many charities
to choose from. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
