<Title>Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and Chapter 22 UM-UMBC</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Literacy programs are a national priority of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. Chapter 22 UM-UMBC is pleased to announce its new partnerships in establishing a childhood literacy program in Baltimore called Dolly Parton’s Imagination Libr</span><span>ary (DPIL). Our program will serve the children of the Park Heights Family Support Center and the surrounding community in zip code 21215, where many children and families face considerable socio-economic challenges.<br><br>Parents will be invited to enroll their children--as early as when they are born--in DPIL, and each child enrolled will receive at home the gift of one developmentally-appropriate book each month with his/her name on it, for 60 months or up to the age of five years. </span><div><span><br>Research and evaluation studies on the DPIL program (which has been established in communities across the U.S. and in Canada and Great Britain) indicate that:<br><br>~ parents of children enrolled in DPIL spend more time reading to their children<br><br>~children enrolled in DPIL develop a love of reading and eagerly anticipate receiving their books each month<br><br>~children enrolled in DPIL are better prepared for school<br><br>~parents of children enrolled in DPIL describe the program, not as a charity or a welfare program, but as “a gift of books”<br><br>We invite you--as a PKP member who knows well the fundamental importance of reading to educational and life achievement--to be a vital part of this exciting chapter initiative by making a contribution this holiday season to provide books for the children in the Park Heights and surrounding community who need them and who will so benefit from them. <br><br>The cost for one child to receive one book per month from birth to the age of five years is $125. The cost for one child to receive monthly books for one year is $25. A donation in any amount will help the chapter to get books to children.</span></div><div><span><br>If you would like to make a contribution to help us reach our fund-raising goal of $10,000--to provide the gift of books to 80 children in the first year of the program--you may do so by check or credit card. (The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi has established its non-profit, tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service for the parent organization and all chapters.)<br><br>•	To make a contribution by check, write the check payable to: PKP Chapter 22 UM-UMBC. <br><br>Be sure to note on the check: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. <br>Mail it to: <br><br>Peter Andes<br>PKP Treasurer<br>Office of the Provost<br>UMBC<br>1000 Hilltop Circle<br>Baltimore, MD 21215<br><br>•	To make a contribution by credit card please click here:<a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=BDZQRS979K966" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=BDZQRS979K966</a><br><br><br>The PBS NewsHour’s segment on Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWUAkeI2MD0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWUAkeI2MD0</a><br><br>The PBS NewsHour’s extended interview with Dolly Parton: <br><a href="http://learningmatters.tv/blog/podcasts/watchlisten-john-merrow-and-dolly-parton-extended-interview/11308/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://learningmatters.tv/blog/podcasts/watchlisten-john-merrow-and-dolly-parton-extended-interview/11308/</a><br><br>The work of Family and Children’s Services and the Park Heights Family Support Center<br><a href="http://www.fcsmd.org/support-for-young-families.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.fcsmd.org/support-for-young-families.html</a><br><br>Best wishes to all PKP members for a happy and healthy winter holiday.</span></div></div>

<Title>Contribution from the Maryland Phi Kappa Phi Foundation</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Chapter 22BC of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is pleased to announce that this past spring we received $114,000 from the Maryland Phi Kappa Phi Foundation to establish the Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 22-UMBC Endowment.  The purpose of the endowment is to provide awards, in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and grants in recognition of academic excellence by student members of Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 22UMBC. Students from UMBC and from the professional schools of the downtown UM campus will be eligible for these awards.  We are grateful to the Foundation for its generous support, which has greatly benefitted our chapter’s members in the past. The Foundation has now been dissolved, but through this contribution its legacy will continue.  It is expected that funds will be available for awards in the 2015 fiscal year, beginning on July 1st 2014. The Foundation also made contributions of the same size to the Phi Kappa Phi chapters at UMCP and UMUC.</div>

<Title>New Chapter Administrator</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Hello everyone, I’m delighted to start assisting Phi Kappa Phi at UMBC and UM. I will be taking part in a number of organizational, administrative, and public relations tasks for Chapter 22 BC. I graduated from UMBC in May, having majored in Philosophy, History, and Ancient Studies. In addition to working in this position I will begin graduate school at The George Washington University in the fall to pursue a master’s degree in Philosophy and Social Policy. I am a PKP member, and am very excited about the organization’s upcoming activities, especially promoting the literacy project we are presently exploring. I'll be sending out messages on facebook and myUMBC to keep members updated on chapter activities. I am really looking forward to meeting and working with the PKP community at UMBC and UM.<br> -Peter Andes</span></div>
