3M PROVIDES $200 GRANT TO TMLA
DONATION HONORS DON HARRIS FOR VOLUNTEER WORK
In recognition of Don Harris's commitment to TMLA and of the volunteer service he has provided, the 3M Foundation has donated $200 to TMLA on Don's behalf as part of the 3M Volunteer Match Program. Don has donated many more than 25 hours in his work on the Water Safety Committee. Don is one of the principal planners of the Watercraft Operator's Permit Training which has been provided in 2002 and 2003 to train children over 12 in safe practices when riding in or driving boats and personal watercraft. This training is made available to children from Ten Mile, Birch, and other lakes in the Hackensack area. Don has also worked with other members of the Water Safety Committee to initiate the Sheriff's Patrol Boat program on TML. At this time Don is chair of the Water Safety Committee, as well as of the Nominating Committee that is putting together a slate of officers for the 2003 TMLA election.
"Supporting our communities through volunteers has been a part of 3M's culture since the company's beginning more than 100 years ago," said Fred Harris, of the 3M Division of Community Affairs and Workforce Diversity (and no relation of Don Harris). "As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 3M Foundation, we are pleased to recognize the personal investment that 3M employees and retirees continue to make in their communities."
As part of the 3M Volunteer Match program, the 3M Foundation will donate $200 to non-profit organizations for which a 3M employee or retiree volunteers 25 hours or more per calendar year. Since the program's inception in 2000, the 3M Foundation donated more than $900,000 to 1,400 organizations in 48 states in recognition of the volunteer efforts of more than 4,500 employees and retirees.
