A Difference Day
Center
Director Jim Kennedy encourages participation in this year's Make
a Difference Day, Oct. 24 - 25. NASA employees are allowed up
to 4 hours of administrative leave on Friday, Oct. 24, with their
supervisor’s approval. This year’s Make a Difference
Day is sponsored by United Way of Brevard County and many other
local businesses such as Florida Today, Publix, Ron Jon’s
and Riverside Bank. It is the largest volunteer service effort
that provides employees with an increased awareness of the needs
of the Brevard community. Last year, volunteers from 32 companies
and organizations created a force of 950 dedicated individuals
who completed 62 community service projects. You can review available
