Hopefully this new designation option will help increase support for family support and youth activity programs. Your community's family support and youth activity programs can receive additional funds through CFC contributions. CFC publishes descriptions of all charities, including their percent of administration and fundraising costs, in its campaign brochure. The brochure also details vital information on how to designate gifts and how to contribute. One of the easiest and most popular ways to contribute is through payroll deduction.
Donors simply authorize a specified amount to be deducted from their paychecks each month.
Payroll deduction always begins in January and runs for one year, unless a donor separates or retires from service. The choice is yours. The distinguished guests arrived with USS Harlan County anchored off the French town of Cavalaire Sur Mer where the crew was participating in events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the Southern Coast of France.

While on board, Secretary Dalton reenlisted Boatswain Mate Second Class Peter Jon Doxsee, advanced Radioman Third Class Michael A. Papa to the grade of second class petty officer under the Command Advancement Program, and awarded enlisted surface warfare pins to Signalman Second Class Scott Strong and Personnelman First Class Adolfo Demontalvo who became dual qualified in aviation and surface warfare.
