Re: AID and EU Services Infringement of U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,260,629 and 8,429,093
Dear James:
Secured Mail Solutions (SMS) has recently discovered that Advanced Image Direct,LLC (AID) and Envelopes Unlimited, Inc. (EU Services) are making, using, selling, and offering for sale a system and method for generating, affixing, and/or processing mail data that,
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 271, infringe multiple claims of U.S. Pat. No. 8,260,629 (the 629Patent) and U.S. Pat. No. 8,429,093 (the 093 Patent) (collectively the Asserted Patents),copies of which are attached hereto. For example, your clients are using certain hardware and/or software (Infringing Products) to generate various barcodes, including personalized quick response (QR) codes. The Infringing Products are then used to affix each personalized QR code onto a mail object and store related electronic data in a storage device. The InfringingProducts are then used to provide the related electronic data to a reception device ( e.g. , smart
phone, etc.) in response to the reception device scanning the personalized QR code on the mailobject.
Such features can be seen, for example, in Claim 10 of the 093 Patent. Claim 10 recitesa system for providing electronic data ( e.g. , a web page, etc.) to a recipient of a mail object, said mail object including a barcode ( e.g. , a QR code, etc.) that includes at least a first set of mail data(e.g. , a personalized uniform resource locator (PURL), a uniform resource locator (URL)together with data on a recipient of the mail object ( e.g. , their name, address, account number,

unique identifier, tracking code, etc.), etc.), comprising: at least one database for storing at leastsaid electronic data, a first mail device ( e.g. , a first computing device), a second mail device(e.g. , a second computing device), and at least one application operating on at least said first maildevice, said at least one application being configured to: use at least the first set of mail data togenerate said barcode ( e.g. , generate the QR code, etc.); and affix said barcode to said mailobject ( e.g. , affix the QR code on the mail object, etc.), said mail object being submitted to amail carrier for delivery to a recipient of said mail object; at least one other application operatingon at least said second mail device, said at least one other application being in communicationwith said database and a reception device of said recipient ( e.g. , a smart phone, etc.) having atleast a scanner and a display, and being configured to: receive said first set of mail data fromsaid reception device ( e.g. , receive the PURL from the smart phone, receiving the URL and recipient data from the smart phone, etc.), said first set of mail data including personalized datacorresponding to said recipient of said physical mail object ( e.g. , the PURL, the recipient data,etc.); and provide said electronic data to said reception device via said network in response toreceiving said first set of mail data ( e.g. , providing the web page identified by the PURL or URLto the smart phone, etc.), said electronic data including a content of said physical mail object(e.g. , the web page for the mail object clearly includes data on a content of the mail object, etc.).
Such features can also be seen, for example, in Claim 1 of the 629 Patent. Claim 1recites a method for providing electronic data ( e.g. , a web page, etc.) to a recipient of a physicalmail object, said electronic data corresponding to a content of said physical mail object ( e.g. , theweb page for the mail object clearly includes data on a content of the mail object, etc.),comprising: affixing a single barcode ( e.g. , a QR code, etc.) to an outer surface of said physicalmail object, said single barcode including at least a first set of mail data ( e.g. , a PURL, a URLtogether with recipient data, etc.), said first set of mail data including recipient data, said
recipient data corresponding to said recipient of said physical mail object; storing said electronicdata in at least one database; delivering said physical mail object to said recipient via a mailcarrier; using a reception device ( e.g. , a smart phone, etc.) to scan said single barcode to retrievesaid first set of mail data; sending by said reception device said first set of mail data to a maildevice ( e.g. , a computing device, etc.) via a network ( e.g. , the Internet, etc.); receiving by said mail device said first set of mail data ( e.g. , receiving the PURL, URL and recipient data, etc.);
providing by said mail device said electronic data to said reception device via said network ( e.g. , providing the web page identified by the PURL or URL to the smart phone, etc.), wherein said electronic data is retrieved from said at least one database and provided to said reception devicein response to receiving said first set of mail data, including said recipient data; receiving by said reception device said electronic data, said reception device including a display; and providing by
said reception device said electronic data to said recipient of said physical mail object bydisplaying said electronic data on said display via a web browser ( e.g. , displaying the web pageon the display of the smart phone, etc.); wherein said electronic data corresponds to data that isincluded inside said physical mail object ( e.g. , the web page for the mail object clearly includesdata corresponding to data that is inside the mail object, etc.).
While SMS believes that the Infringing Products are used by AID and EU Services, and therefore constitute acts of direct infringement, SMS further believes that AID and EU Services

James E. Doroshow, Esq., April 23, 2013 - Page 3
contributed to and induced others ( e.g. , its customers, recipients of mail objects, etc.) to infringethe Asserted Patents. This is done. for example., by inducing customers and recipients to
participate in a personalized QR code program ( e.g. , inducing customers to store the electronicdata in a storage device and provide the electronic data to the reception device, inducingrecipients to scan the personalized QR codes, etc.). Because the Infringing Products are not astaple article of commerce suitable for substantial non-infringing use, and because they wereespecially made or adapted for use to infringe the Asserted Patents, or to allow others to infringethe Asserted Patents, AIDs and EU Services actions constitute acts of at least indirectinfringement.
Evidence of the direct and indirect infringement for AID can be found on AIDs websites(http://www.cloud2you.com/c2y4eloqua.html and http://www.cloud2you.com/docs/C2Y/C2Y-Brochure.pdf). For example, the websites state that AIDs customers can [s]end one, hundredsor thousands of letters, greeting cards, postcards or sales brochures and that responses can betracked with a PURL or QR code. Provided on the websites are flow charts showing howSmart Barcodes ( e.g. , Intelligent Mail barcodes) can be used to track mail objects and how aPURL or QR code can be used to track a recipients interaction with a mail object.
Evidence of the direct and indirect infringement for EU Services can be found on EUServices website (http://www.euservices.com/resources/bridging-the-gap-with-qr-codes), For Example, the website provides that EU Services QR code capabilities include: [g]eneric and
personalized QR code generation, [g]eneric and personalized QR code landing pageconstruction [and] [g]eneric and personalized QR code data capture, including visitor traffic and
page behavior information. The website further states that [y]ou may have tested a personalURL with a direct mail piece in the past. QR codes allow you to use personal URL technology
within the QR code so that your reader does not have to physically type the personal URLaddress into their browser. Instead, scanning the QR code takes the user to a personalized webpage for a customized mobile experience. Use these two highly powerful technologies to
pack a one-two punch in your next direct mail campaign.
In light of the foregoing, SMS is prepared to offer AID and EU Services the opportunityto obtain a royalty bearing license under the Asserted Patents, which would allow AID and EUServices to make, use, sell and offer for sale the Infringing Products throughout the United States. If AID and/or EU Services are interested in licensing the Asserted Patents, please contactthe undersigned counsel by May 3, 2013. Otherwise, if we do not hear from you by May 3, wewill assume that AID and EU Services are not interested in licensing the Asserted Patents. At
that time, SMS may pursue all available legal and equitable remedies against AID and EU

Re: EU Services Infringement of U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,260,629 and 8,429,093
Dear Christopher:
We have received your letter dated May 29, 2013, which addresses patent infringement
concerns raised in our April 23, 2013 letter to Mr. Doroshow. In your letter, you address twoissues: (1) the validity of the asserted patents; and (2) EU Services infringement of the asserted patents.
With respect to the former, you cited to several prior art references that, according to you, place the validity of the asserted patents in question. We respectfully disagree. The referencesidentified in your letter are at best cumulative over art that has already been considered by theUnited States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). For example, during prosecution of the629 Patent, the Examiner considered the Lebaschi reference ( i.e. , U.S. Pub. No. 2006/0106623),which according to the Examiner discloses a barcode that includes a network location of anadvertisement, wherein the recipient can scan the barcode to receive the advertisement. SeeOffice Action dated February 23, 2012, at pages 2-5. Thus, the prior art cited in your letter is nomore relevant than art previously considered by the USPTO. None of the references cited inyour letter or during prosecution of the patents disclose or suggest the use of a personalized QR code to receive data on a content of a mail piece, as offered for sale by EU Services.
With respect to infringement, you argued that the asserted patents are limited to a barcodethat can be used to provide a "sneak preview of data inside a mail piece, and that your clientdoes not practice the claimed inventions. First, the patents are not limited to a barcode that isaffixed on an outer surface of a mail piece and used to provide a sneak preview function. In fact,

June 6, 2013 - Page 2
during prosecution of the 093 Patent, the Examiner stated that the 093 Patent does not requirethe barcode to be affixed on an outer surface of a mail piece or provide a sneak preview function.See Notice of Allowance dated March 14, 2013, at pages 7-8. Second, while you stated that your client does not practice the claimed invention, their marketing materials suggests otherwise. Inour April 23 letter we cited to EU Services documents that state that they offer personalized QR code services that can be used by their customers to pack a one-two punch in [their] nextdirect mail campaign.
Regardless of the parties positions on infringement and validity of the asserted patents,you stated in your letter that EU Services would like to discuss a non-litigious resolution to thematter. We are willing to participate in such a discussion. Please let me know a date and time
before June 24, 2013, that you are available for a telephone call to discuss this matter further.We are interested in discussing a resolution that not only resolves the QR code patents, but alsothe Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) patents that are currently the subject of litigation in theCentral District of California.

Eight Direct Marketing
Projects WherePersonalized URLs Fit
One of the golden rules of directmarketing is to always include aresponse device in every message sentto your audience. Your arsenal of reply
devices today probably includes businessreply cards, websites and/or 1-800numbers.
More recently, direct mailers have begunsending responders to web sites that matchthe look and feel of a mail package andallow the campaign to continue with morecontent online. A few direct marketershave taken this one step further and areusing personalized URLs in direct mail oremail. Every recipient receives a personallink to a response website that ispersonalized with relevant information
from your data le.
Once you leverage the power of apersonalized URL as a response device,you can capture additional informationabout each one of your respondents andcontinue to drive involvement.
Here are eight examples OFdirect marketingcampaigns where a personalized URL canbe most effective as a response device:
1. EVENT REGISTRATION
Event marketing is extremely time-sensitive as a date is tied to the event andall marketing activities must be plannedaround this date. If you use a mail replycard, you risk receiving some replies toolate due to the mail stream, but a responsevia a personalized URL is instantaneousand can make your projections forattendance more accurate.
Your guests benet from the use of personalized URLs because they will nothave to key enter all of their data into theregistration form. Personalized URL
registration forms can be pre-populatedwith any information in someones le andare editable if needed, allowing you tokeep your database up to date.
If your organization has regularconferences or classes, you can reduce theamount of generic information initiallysent and instead invite recipients tovisit a personalized URL and customize aconference brochure 9 ou can even mailtargeted follow-up material based on theinformation you capture online.
Track and manage attendee lists withease as you automatically build anelectronic le of all registrations fromthe personalized URL response report.This list can be exported and used to sendupdates to your exhibitors, create namebadges and provide an up-to-date rosterfor your event manager.
2. TRADESHOW MARKETINGAs a tradeshow exhibitor, you canutilize personalized URLs in pre-showmarketing communications to informpotential visitors about your organizationbefore the show and encourage them tovisit your booth. Most marketers nd thata contest or promotional item helps toencourage participation in your marketingcampaign. Think about pushing attendeesto register for personalized promotionalgiveaways on the personalized URL that
they will pick up at your booth. If you alsocapture email, you will be able to sendreminders about picking up their item atthe show and increase your booth trafc
overall. Exhibitors also face time constraints whenit comes to tradeshows. The attendee list isgiven out to the exhibitors usually withinonly two to three weeks of the actualevent, leaving limited time to executea complete campaign. Personalized URLsallow for quick response from potentialbooth visitors and permit sales reps toengage these people before the showlaunches. Imagine setting up appointmentsfor sales reps before a tradeshow whatbetter opportunity to have face-to-face
time with potential customers at an event?
3. LEAD GENERATION ANDACQUISITIONDirect marketers typically nd that anemail cannot replace a direct mail piecefor acquisition campaigns, since emailscan easily be deleted or ignored, andemail lists are very costly to acquire.
However, once youve made a connectionwith your potential customer on a
personalized URL, you can capture emailaddresses, update your database, andutilize email as a channel for strategic leadnurturing communications. Personalized URLs can be used to gatheradditional information for each respondentto help you dene and qualify new leads.Simple surveys of three to ve questions

with drop down selections will serve toeasily segment your responders for futurecommunications.
Once youve captured a personalized URLresponse, its easy to automate generic orpersonalized follow-up messages. You canalso create an automated message to followup with non-responders by using your
personalized URL response report toremove the names of leads that havealready responded, and then target allothers with an additional mailing or email.
If you have a sales force assigned tovarious geographic territories, you candirect new leads to the proper salesassociates. Leads can be automaticallyassigned to them in real time using theaddress from a personalized URL visitorsdata file. This eliminates a manualassignment process and lag time.
Personalized URLs provide responsetracking and reduce the errors andomissions associated with key-enteringmailed response information. Theseresponses will also provide a link directlyto the acquisition mailing that caused aperson to respond, thus adding anaccurate source code to every lead andeliminating manual data collection.
4. LEAD NURTURINGOnce youve compiled a list of responsesfrom your acquisition campaign, youcan then use personalized URLs for a morecohesive, targeted approach to nurturethese leads. Lead nurturing campaignsinvolve a series of marketing attempts tomove a lead through the conversionprocess. Personalized URLs allow you toautomate some or all of this process, sothat a thoroughly pre-planned campaigncan almost run itself with signicantlyless administrative work for you and youremployees.
Another benet of using personalizedURLs is the testing platform they provide,which allows personalized URL content tobe modified as soon as you discover whathas worked in the testing process. Basedon response rates and conversionperformance, YOUcan make modicationsthroughout the duration of the campaign.These changes can happen immediatelywith no lag time between the launch of anew campaign.
5. LOYALTYAs customers convert from your leadnurturing campaign, you can continue touse personalized URLs to strengthen yourcustomer relationships. Customers canrespond to promotions, access their rewardpoints, redeem points, and renew through alifetime personalized URL that is
constantly updated with new, relevantinformation. This technology exists withsign-in member-based websites, but apersonalized URL allows members to bypassthe sign-in step.
Loyalty personalized URLs also allow forcontinual data collection, which is useful ingaining customer intelligence to utilize forfuture promotions and customer-centricmarketing messages.
6. MEMBERSHIP/CUSTOMER
RENEWAL
Of course, customer erosion is a fact of life as well, making renewal campaignsimperative to reviving customers andmembers. By using the information youcollected on these customers, you cancreate a personalized URL featuringrelevant offers in a renewal campaign toencourage customers to return.
7. DONATION AND SPECIAL
APPEALS
Fundraisers can use information theyvecollected about their donors to personalizepersonalized URL pages. Many not-for-profits already use past giving donationamounts to determine how much they willask from their donors in their nextcommunication. Personalized URLs usedfor pledge forms online allow donors tosee the same variable gift string that theyreceived in the direct mail piece andsimply confirm their information ratherthan re-enter it.
Fundraising direct mail packages typicallyhave at least a website to appease thedonors that would prefer to give onlinevia a secured server. Personalized URLsclose the gap between the mail event andgeneral online donations. When a visitorgives via a personalized URL, it links thedonation definitively to a direct mail
event for simple, effective, andcomprehensive response rate and revenuetracking across both channels.
Personalized URLs also allow not-for-profits ease in offering back-end premiumsto donors. This solution could help reducethe costs of sending front-end premiumsto everyone on your list by providingpremiums only after the individualmakes his or her donation. With theuse of personalized URLs and the ability tocapture information during the time of thedonation, you can also customize the offeras opposed to offering everyone the samepremium.
8. PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT
The dynamic tracking capabilitiesof a personalized URL allow marketers tocollect information regarding what links
visitors clicked online, how long theyviewed a page, and which downloads theyrequested, among other things. This couldprovide insight on new product interestsor needs. Marketers can then relay thisinformation to the sales person assignedto an account or use this to create newmessages based on a web visitors specicinterests all accomplished by the initialvisit to a personalized URL.
Clearly, rather than a marketing gimmick,personalized URLs are the ultimateresponse device. Moreover, as part of the
social media revolution, personalized URLsopen another venue for the all-importantconversation with customers. Not only Dpersonalized URL respondents show uswhat theyre interested in by stopping by,the information they choose to leavebehind strengthens the relationship.

About Barbour Publishing Since the company began as Book Bargains in 1981, much has happened to bring BarbourPublishing rom a small remainder seller to a prominent Christian publisher. Located in Uhrichsville,Ohio, today Barbours ront list releases number more than 150 titles per year. That, coupled withnearly 1,000 stock titles, allows Barbour to provide retailers around the globe with a ordable andaccessible Christian products or everyone. In its brie history, Barbour has shipped over one hundredmillion books.
Barbour Publishing and EU ServicesEU Services helps promote Barbour Publishings line o Christian-inspired mystery novels through the
use o targeted direct mail that eatures variable data printing and personalized URLs (PURLs).
Background of Barbours PURL campaign An EU sales representative learned o Barbour Publishing at a tradeshow exhibit. The salesrepresentative contacted publisher Karen Miller to discuss Barbours direct marketing needs. Shelearned that Barbour had been considering the use o a cross media campaign with personalizedlanding pages (p-URLs) or some time, but had not yet tried them. We thought that using p-URLsin our campaign would make it easier on the customer, who would have their own personal websiteto visit.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTION
The ChallengeWhile Barbour has a very loyal customer base, the publisher wanted to determine i p-URLs would
help build the companys Mystery Book o the Month Club membership.
The SolutionBarbour implemented a direct mail package eaturing p-URLs that included a 6x9 carrier, a variable-data-printed personalized letter, and a matching personalized reply orm. In the test, p-URLs wereincluded to drive respondents to the personal website, where they could join the Mystery Book o theMonth Club and choose rom our ree titles.
The frst test o 200,000 pieces incorporated a our-way split: one package eatured a bright, 4-colorenvelope with no p-URLs; the second carrier was a plain 2-color envelope with no p-URLs; the thirdcarrier eatured the plain 2-color envelope with p-URLs; and the ourth test used the 4-color envelopewith p-URLs.
The next time Barbour mailed, they used p-URLs or both parts o a two-way split test o the o erone eaturing our titles or ree, the other eaturing our titles or 99 cents.

THE RESULTS

The Result Karen says, We have been pleasantly surprised at the number o sign-ups we receive thru thep-URLs. The cost was very minimal and the p-URL brought up each customers in ormation
automatically. P-URLs also saved postage, since customers dont have to send anything back tous via USPS.
By their very nature, p-URLs disclose exactly where a response originates, both rom which listand rom which geographic area. Moreover, no key coding is necessary to gain the in ormationbecause p-URLs capture list in ormation automatically. Karen says, We now have more accurate response rates because, when responders sign up viathe p-URL, we can track their key codes to the list they came rom. This helps us analyze each listindividually and gather more accurate response data.
The initial test was so success ul that Barbour is considering expanding p-URLs to market thecompanys Romance Series.

Lessons Learned Going orward, Barbour plans to expand its interaction with p-URL visitors. We would like toollow-up with the customers who visited their p-URL but chose not to join the book club, Karen
says.
In the uture, we also would like to add the p-URLs to our romance book club. Through the p-URLwe want to match the name to the list they came rom. This will help analyze each list individuallyand provide more accurate response rates.

Direct mailers know their barcodes.
POSTNET barcodes can easily be deciphered i you know how to read between the lines,
so to speak. The Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) is a little more complicated, but the industryis readily adopting this technology. However, it seems that direct mailers have shied away
rom the latest barcode technology in our industry QR codes. The majority o QR code
users are currently advertisers. So why have direct mailers ignored this latest technology?
Lets take a look at what QR codes are, how they work, and why you should consider
using a QR code or your next mailing.

What are they and how do they work?
A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional or matrix
barcode containing data that can be read by a smart phone usingthe phones camera and a QR code reader application. Once
scanned, the QR code can direct the user to a URL, dial a phone
number, set up a calendar event, direct you to an email address,
send a SMS (text message), play a video, or provide geo-location
(mapping) in ormation.
I youre not sure what to look or, you may have missed these small square boxes that are
flled with complex patterns o black and white pixels. These pixels contain data which is
scanned by a smart phone and triggers a web URL to launch on the scanners phone.
QR codes have become the most common 2D barcode; however, there are more than40 2D barcodes available or use. They contain a higher data capacity than other barcodes,
and the usage o these barcodes is spreading rom billboards to print advertisements to
direct mail and even clothing.

Why use them for Direct Mail?
Here are a ew ideas on how to incorporate a QR code into a direct mail campaign:
Product Information. Reduce the amount o in ormation printed on your direct mail pieceby driving the reader to your webpage instead. A QR code makes it easier to deliver product
in ormation via a web page or a product demonstration video, and easier or the reader to
receive the in ormation in a ormat thats convenient or their busy li estyle.
Example: Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) utilized a QR code on a
postcard mailing that drove users to BCBSs online medical care provider directory. BCBS
saved over $300,000 that would have been spent on printing and mailing hard copy directories.
The health care market is also utilizing QR codes to provide monthly summaries or customers
instead o single summaries on individual claims (Source: InPlant Graphics, July 1, 2011).
Drive donations online. Not- or-proft appeals that use reply cards and return envelopes
could also o er a QR code or donors to scan. Direct your donors to a landing page so that
they can act immediately. Youre saving your donors time by relieving them rom the e ort o
typing in the address online, and youre providing them with the reedom to donate rom virtually
anywhere at any time.

Drive sales online. I you send out product catalogs or brochures to promote purchases,
you may want to consider using QR codes to direct buyers to a specifc product where they
can learn more, read client testimonials, and make a purchase.
Example: Papa Johns International and AT&T Papa Johns International, Inc. and AT&T teamed
up to promote their services and drive sales to around 200,000 consumers with a QR code on a
direct mail piece. Once the reader downloaded the so tware needed to read the code, they could
access Papa Johns mobile-device ordering website. Users were rewarded with a ree pizza.
The campaign ound that 80% o consumers who downloaded the QR code scanner went on to
scan the Papa John QR code and then order pizza via the mobile website. This resulted in over
$1 million in revenue directly rom the QR code in the frst six months o the campaign (Source:
Mobile Marketing, http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/commerce/2211.html).

Conference handouts. Reduce the amount o printed material you hand out at a tradeshow
by o ering QR codes. Visitors can access the in ormation at the booth or request it once
they return rom the show and are ready to use the in ormation. You could also provide video
presentations to visitors that didnt have time or a presentation at your booth.
Example: UK Museums UK Museums used QR codes at their con erence to help people
connect. QR codes were printed on attendee badges and once scanned, provided the
scanner the attendees in ormation via email. The person scanning the QR code also had
the option o adding the contact in ormation to their address book automatically without
key entering in ormation. UK Museums reported that around 27% o their attendees took
advantage o the QR codes (Source: Electric Museum, http://electronicmuseum.org.
uk/2009/12/07/uk-museums-on-the-web-2009-qr-in-the-wild/).
Registration. Allow recipients o your direct mail package the opportunity to register or anupcoming event or newsletter via QR codes. Event registration is o ten put o until the last
two weeks be ore the actual event date, most likely due to our busy schedules. Provide a
QR code or your possible attendees to scan and go back to when they are ready to sign up
or the event. Or allow them to sign up or email reminders about the con erence. QR codes
used with event planning open up a huge number o possibilities.

Using QR Codes with Direct Mail
Coupons. Many mobile marketers are using coupons to drive store tra fc. Mobile coupons
are convenient or shoppers as they usually have their mobile device with them, but may
orget paper coupons. Provide coupons via QR codes or users at your retail locations. You
can easily track and monitor activity.
Directions/Maps. Send direct mail notifcations to announce new openings or your brick
and mortar locations. You can help recipients easily navigate to the new location by o ering
a QR code that provides them with directions on their smart phones. They can access these
directions whenever and wherever they are.
Personal URLs. You may have tested a personal URL with a direct mail piece in the past. QR
codes allow you to use personal URL technology within the QR code so that your reader does
not have to physically type the personal URL address into their browser. Instead, scanning
the QR code takes the user to a personalized webpage or a customized mobile experience.Use these two highly power ul technologies to pack a one-two punch in your next direct mail
campaign.
Schedules. QR codes can populate a readers mobile phone calendar with an event. Its like
a virtual save-the-date reminder that your users can easily access and store in their mobile
device. This concept would work well with con erences, webinars, special retail promotions,
or not- or-proft a-thon type events.

Are you ready to help make a difference? The EU Caring Campaign was started in 1981 as part of EUServicescommitment to community involvement. In its 30-year history, we have been able to reach out tofamilies in need to provide nancial, educational, and emotional support during difcult times.
Our primary focus has always been to help the children of these families. During the course of a year, theEU Caring Campaign works with up to 15 families within our community.
y At the beginning of the school year, every family is given the funds to purchase schoolclothes, shoes and school supplies for their children.
y There is a fun-lled Holiday Party complete with Santa and gifts.
yFood is regularly provided for holiday meals, as well as help with emergencyutility bills.
y Any child 8 years of age and above is also given an opportunity to attend a two-week summer camp program always a huge favorite with the kids and the parents.
In addition, the EU Caring Campaign established a scholarship fund for needy students at MontgomeryCollege in Rockville, MD, and provides educational assistance to individual family members wheneverneeded. We actively support many local charitable organizations, and participate in special communityprojects, such as Christmas in April.
Margaret Mead, the renowned anthropologist, has said, Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed citizens can change the world; indeed, its the only thing that ever has. For more than 30years, the EU Caring Campaign has made it a practice to follow these insightful words. We do make adifference in the community and you can, too.
