Welcome
to the Chicago Chapter of the American Payroll
Association
In today's rapidly changing
payroll environment, payroll professionals need
to have an excellent source for obtaining the
payroll information needed to make correct and
informed decisions. Hopefully by using this website
and the American Payroll Association(www.americanpayroll.org) website,
Chicago area payroll professionals will have
the resources to obtain payroll legislative and
regulatory updates and valuable information regarding
the educational tools that are available to become
successful payroll professionals.
The main focus of the Chicago Chapter is payroll education by holding quarterly
meetings and conducting Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) and Fundamental
Payroll Certification (FPC) review classes that provide networking opportunities
and give payroll professionals the chance to earn educational credits for
attendance. The Chicago Chapter supports other charitable activities by
volunteering time and making donations. During National Payroll Week the
Chapter organizes for the members,
a blend of educational, networking, and community service opportunities.
Annually, toward the end of the year, the Chicago Chapter members and supporters
of the payroll profession gather in the evening to attend a Holiday Party,
donate new toys or clothing to needy children, and celebrate the accomplishments
of members, volunteers, and sponsors. Check this home page often to become
a successful payroll professional. The Chicago Chapter board hopes to meet
you at our meetings or classes by your referring to our Events Calendar
and attending the planned activities. The Chicago Chapter is a nonprofit
association and is an autonomous and independent Chapter of the American
Payroll Association.
Thank you for visiting the Chicago Chapter's website.

Ralph Campagna,
Executive Director, and Arnett Morris, Assistant

and their guests to an evening at the Off the

priceless safe summer refuge, in Wheaton, IL on
Thursday, July 16, 2009 (6:30 PM – 9:00 PM).
OTSC children and staff welcome and greet guests
with cheerful hugs, smiles and refreshing
lemonade under the shade of the Camp’s venerable
oak trees which give welcome respite from the
summer sun.
While guests are arriving, everyone gets a
chance to talk with the kids and each other,
All guests are then invited to watch the kids
enjoy themselves at their swimming pool with
water slide (guests can also bring their swim
suits and join the kids in the pool). There
will also be a cookout for all guests and kids,
dessert tables, and finally everyone is invited
to sit by the bonfire.
The Chicago Chapter Payroll board looks forward
to seeing you at the Camp, if your schedule

Ronald McDonald House Charity
- 2008 Project & Continuing to 2009
The Chicago Chapter members’ generosity and
dedication to giving back was seen in the
overwhelming support of the pop top drive for
Ronald McDonald House Charity. On Sunday,
February 15, 2009, chapter members delivered a
very large tub of tabs to the Ronald McDonald
House facility in Maywood, IL. A special
thank-you to all the members who participated in
this project during 2008. The chapter will
continue to support the RMH through pop top
collections in 2009. Keep saving the pop tabs
and bring them to any of our chapter events. We
will share the progress of the collections in
the newsletter. Let’s see if we cannot break our
last year’s efforts!
Off the Street
Club—Educational Support Project for 2009
The Off the Street Club is an after school
program provided for children on the West side
of Chicago. The youth of this neighborhood face
daily challenges in the poorest and most crime
ridden area... Ralph Campagna, Executive
Director of the Club, has been providing a safe
haven for these children to partake in after school
programs -
be an after school place where kids can be kids,
where they laugh and play, relax and have fun,
and learn traditional American values.
At the Club each year over 3,000 very needy but
very wonderful boys and girls embrace the value
system of Chicago’s oldest club for at-risk
youngsters and reject threats of the violent
street gangs which compete for every child.
These children desire to get a good education
and see their dreams come true. In the past we
have supported this organization with the annual
toy drive at our holiday event. To further
support this group the chapter is starting an
educational fund. At all chapter meetings and
events, a 50/50 raffle will be held. The chapter
will match the raised funds and present the
check to Ralph and the children at the annual
holiday party in November, 2009. Save the
date -
RELAY FOR LIFE 2009
This year Team CAPA will be participating in the
Cancer Relay for Life in Westchester, IL.
The dates are Saturday, June 27th to
Sunday, June 28th at Mayfair Park.
Members of the chapter can sign up at
www.relayforlifewestchester.com
to become members of the team.
The American
Cancer Society Relay For Life® event
is held each year, across the nation and it
brings together entire communities to take part
in the fight against cancer. It’s
a time and place where people come to celebrate
those who have survived cancer, remember those
we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease
that touches too many lives. Thanks in part to
the donations from Relay For Life and other
events, the American Cancer Society is saving
lives, helping those touched by cancer, and
empowering people to fight this disease all over
the world. Katie Staffeldt has again
volunteered to be the team captain - thank-you
Katie! Windy
City Rubber Ducky Derby is coming In 2008, the

Chicago on August 14, 2009. In the
