New Twist on Holiday Giving
Employees can use seasonal parties and gift exchanges as a
way to help local families in need through the
Adopt-a-Family Program, sponsored by the Office of Faculty,
Staff and Retiree Programs.
Gifts collected go to help at-risk youth, foster children and
families in crisis. Faculty, staff members or departments
"adopt" a person, family or agency and purchase gifts from a
wish list written by the recipients.
For more information about the program or to submit an
adoption request, go to
www.jhu.edu/hr1/fsrp/adopt_fam.html or contact Sondra
Ponzi at
sponzi1@jhu.edu or 410-516-0338. Gifts and donations are
due by Friday, Dec. 14.

appropriate to school- age children, grades 1 through 5, for
its new Mentorship Program starting in January. To donate

Junior Achievement Biztown Event
The Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs has
partnered with Junior Achievement to help Furman Templeton
Elementary School students in West Baltimore. Johns Hopkins
volunteers are needed for JA BizTown, an event designed to
help fifth- grade students become "grown-ups" for a day by
learning to hold a job, manage finances and develop an
understanding of how to be a functioning adult in the
community.
The program will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Thursday, Jan. 10. Participants must attend one training
session, from 6 to 8 p.m. on either Wednesday, Dec. 12, or
