Chronicling civil-service life for California state workers

CalPERS donates more than 20 tons of food

CalPERS employee John Hobbs, who co-chaired the fund's employee November-to-January food drive, sent out this Thursday e-mail about the effort:

Good Afternoon CalPERS,

Attached are the final CalPERS results for the 2009 State Employees' Food Drive. We do not have the results for the other state departments yet. When we get the overall state numbers we will let you know.

I want to thank all of the those here at CalPERS, who participated in the State Employees' Food Drive this year. Because of you, we were able to donate 41,981.54 pounds of food this year.

Hopefully the economy will be in better shape next year and we will be able to help even more of those less fortunate people in our area.

I also want to thank all of the division food drive, coordinators for their hard work this year, without them we couldn't do what we do here at CalPERS.

Here are the results for the most food and the most food per employee:

Total Weight:
Investment Office -- 13,659.94 pounds
Actuarial and Employer Services Branch -- 6,138.13 pounds
Information Technology Services Branch -- 5,711.30 pounds
Customer Services and Education Division -- 4,140.37 pounds

Pounds per Employee:
Executive Office -- 59.50 pounds
Investment Office -- 59.13 pounds
Office of Policy and Program Development -- 58.80 pounds
Actuarial and Employer Services Branch -- 37.43 pounds

Thank You

John Hobbs

2009 CalPERS Food Drive Co Chair
Innovation and Implementation Services Division
Portfolio Information & Analysis Office

Food collected by CalPERS and other state agencies and departments is going to Foodlink for distribution to over 120 food closets and agencies throughout the Sacramento area.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
