October 15 marks the start to the 2010 Maryland Charity Campaign. Packets of pledge cards will be distributed by internal mail to all faculty. Please consult the letter for Dr. Hoff's request that you consider contributing this year. UMBC 1000 is the goal of having 1000 of our faculty and staff make contributions this year. You will need to search for your favorite charity or look for the Book #'s online as books are not being provided this year. Contact Dr. Hoff at (hoff at umbc.edu) for questions.
