To: FIELDCREST
EMPLOYEES
I want to express appreciation
on behalf of the entire ccmmuni'ty
for the splendid manner in which
you responded to the Tri-City
Community Fund campaign. Your
wholehearted and generous sup
port is inspiring to all of us. If
the campaign goes as well in the
community outside of Fieldcrest
Mills as it did last year, we will
be assured of reaching our overall
goal of $56,006.
I know that you enjoy a sense
of satisfaction in knowing that
you did your share, and that you
are proud to be among the Field
crest employees who have played
such an important part in the
campaign.
Once again your fine coopera
tion has provided an example for
the Tri-City community. The out
standing results at Fieldcrest show
what can be accomplished when
large numbers of people join
hands to make their community
a better place in which to live
and work.
May I say most sincerely: Con
gratulations and Thank You.
C. C. Campbell,
General Chairman
