Six base units meet CFC early bird goals Published Oct. 31, 2008 By Lanorris Askew 78th Air Base Wing Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- More than 50 percent of Team Robins' organizations rolled up their sleeves and met their Combined Federal Campaign goal early this year winning the coveted title of Early Bird. The Early Bird designation is given to those organizations that made 100 percent of their goal by Oct. 24. Each unit that reached their campaign goal by Oct. 24 will receive a special plaque for the Unit from Maj. Gen. Polly Peyer, Warner Robins Air Logistics Center commander. Brian Vassey, 2008 CFC Local Federal Coordinating Committee chairman, said despite a faltering economy, CFC contributions at Robins are right on target. "Of the 100 organizations on base 60 of them made Early Bird," he said. "Robins is doing very well in the CFC this year. I think most organizations will make reach their goals." Organizational goals are based on the number and rank of people in organizations, as well as their earning power in the organization. Robins' 2008-2009 campaign, "Be a Star in Someone's Life," kicked off Oct. 2 with the base striving to meet its $1,350,000 goal in the six-week campaign which ends Nov. 14. Currently the base is at 91 percent of its goal with a total of $1,232,628 and two weeks of the campaign left. Payroll contributions pledged during this year's campaign will begin in January and while the deadline for earning the Early Bird award has passed, there is still time to make a difference by donating.
