Member needs a day and a prayer
If you are a member who has some extra vacation
days, did you know you can put them to good use by donating a day to someone
in need?
That’s the case of Tom Raiman, Division 340
council leader, who wants to make a statewide plea to help a very deserving
co-worker by asking members to donate vacation time.
Raiman works at Collins Correctional Facility,
just south of Buffalo. His co-worker, Joyce Krygier, an inmate record
coordinator 2, needs some help.
Raiman said Krygier is having her third
breast-cancer surgery and has run out of accruals.
“Joyce has been an inspiration to all of us here,”
Raiman said. “She’s strong, but she has been going through so much. This is
her third major operation and she is a fellow member who is truly
courageous.
“She has exhausted all her time. If any member
could give her one vacation day, it would help. And if you can’t, a prayer
would be good.”
If you wish to donate a day or two to Krygier,
contact Raiman at (716) 532-4588 and he will arrange for you to complete the
simple State Employee Leave Donation form with someone in the human
resources department.
Only vacation days may be donated.
If you know someone in your agency in need of
extra time, contact your human resources department for a leave donation
form. — Deborah A. Miles
