United Way Magic
Volunteers contribute ell year long...
70 years of community support
A
The Baytown Exxon Refinery is proud of the 70-year
heritage It shares with the City of Baytown. Part of that legacy
Is the employees themselves and their contributions both on
the job and to their neighbors in Baytown and the surrounding
area.
Refinery employees are involved in more than 50 volunteer
activities in the community including United Way agencies, St.
James Nursing Home, San Jacinto Methodist Hospital Auxili-
ary, Special Olympics, volunteer fire departments, Sterling
Municipal Library literacy program, KUHT Teleauction, Bay-
town Youth Fair and Rodeo and many others.
They are actively supportive of youth education and have
been participants in, Junior Achievement for thirteen years
and Project Business programs for ten years. Employees also
assist with the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent
School District (GCCISD) -- Math/Science Fair and Academic
Decathlon. Employees are involved in the Partners in Educa-
tion program with Travis Elementary School where they serve
as tutors as well as provide other support for the school.
Employees also are involved with the Minority Enrichment
Seminar in Engineering Training (MESET), co-sponsored by
the University of Houston.
Special presentations have been made to high school and
college students.
In addition to periodic donations of surplus equipment such
as maps, drafting models, metals, shop machines and laborat-
ory equipment to Chinquapin School, GCCISD and Lee Col-
lege, the refinery contributes to organizations such as the
Baytown Clean City Commission, Baytown Crime Stoppers,
Baytown Historical Museum, the NAACP and the Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce. In 1989, once again refinery employ-
ees were the largest single givers in the Baytown United Way
Drive with $213,000 in pledges.
During 1989, funds from Exxon's employee/annuitant contri-
bution matching program accounted for over 66 percent (or
$37,735) of the total contributions made for Friends of Lee
College.
Over the years, many Exxon employees and annuitants have
served the community in elected positions. Currently, a
refinery employee and an annuitant serve on the Baytown City
Council.
