| Vecna Contributed Over
12,000 Hours in Community Service College Park, MD, February 10, 2006 - Vecna Technologies, Inc. announced today that the company has devoted over 12,000 hours of community service time to various regional and national community projects. Since its inception in January of 1999, Vecna has encouraged its employees to spend approximately 10% of their paid time to volunteer in community service activities. "Enthusiasm drives employee commitment beyond work projects to substantial involvement in community service," said Deborah Theobald, CEO of Vecna. "Companies are inherently a part of the community, and contributing to the community is part of being a responsible member. We encourage our employees to be involved and contribute to the greater good." Vecna has participated in a number of community service projects.
The company sponsors an annual 10K race for the Medical Care for Children
Partnership, a program that provides medical services to children in
low income families. Recently, Vecna had a care package drive in the
DC metro area which raised over 140 care packages, totaling over 700
pounds of goodies that were sent to Iraq. Other past activities included
helping the development of the Compassion Center, a nonprofit organization
located in College Park, MD, that helps individuals cope with the loss
of a loved one. Later this year Vecna will also contribute support to
the FIRST robotics league competition in Boston, MA by coaching two
local teams and providing referee services for the competition. TOP
