I agree that we should move on it for this holiday season...Laura Schwartz, our PR manager, is talking with KRBE about their interest and how to make it happen. Charla Reese on my team has also contacted the Cycling Club to see if they are interested in doing a drive. I am happy to send you our Matching Gift form and our VIP (Volunteer Incentive Program) form for you to complete. Misha Siegel can answer any questions about Matching Gifts and VIP. Would you like to continue to get updates as we move forward on this instead of a formal meeting - its your call - just let me know and I am happy to set one up. My suggestion is that we wait to hear from KRBE and then we meet with Joann from BEAR to talk about implementation.

I would hate to wait a whole year. I also think the last one is a good idea. Let me know what I can do to help. Mark Elyse Kalmans@ENRON 11/07/2000 04:10 PM To: Cindy Olson/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Mark E Haedicke/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: BEAR Cindy and Mark: The Community Relations team has brainstormed ways to support BEAR during the holiday season, specifically with their bike drive. One note, Enron already adopts an entire needy Elementary School for the holiday seaso, and our employees adopt each child in the school by donating money, etc. to provide supplies and clothing for the children, so I am a bit concerned about another big employee drive during the holidays. However, we have a number of ideas that I will share below, knowing that it may take some time to schedule a meeting for the three of us: 1. Partner with 104 KRBE to promote a Bike Drive in partnership with Sun & Ski Sports (one of KRBE's sponsors). Enron could pay for the advertising dollars and Sun & Ski could get shoppers to make donations toward buying bikes. Laura Schwartz is exploring KRBE's appetite for something like this. 2. BEAR/CPS table at our December 1 Big E Cafe which highlights ways for employees can get involved throughout the community during the holidays. BEAR could use the opportunity to ask for donations as well as offer volunteer opportunities. 3. Partner with the Enron Cycling Club to donate bikes - leverage their connections with local bike stores. These employees might be more likely to want to donate. 2. Utilize Matching Dollars (up to $15,000 per employee annually) if Mark or other employees are interested in contributing. Additionally, if Mark or other employees volunteer with BEAR, using VIP dollars (up to $2500) to pay for bikes. Please let me know your thoughts, so that we can pursue some of these opportunities.
