State employees help others even in bad times

State employees help others even in bad times: "Some stories need to be told.

For 29 years, Maine state employees have participated in a charitable giving project that has received little attention from the media and the public.

Always cited when things go wrong, state employees seldom receive the attention they should get when their efforts go right -- when they respond to the call to help their neighbors, when they save lives, strengthen families and improve communities."
