Dear TIME 2000 Students, See below and attached for an interesting opportunity! The event will be this coming Wednesday, February 10th during free hour in PH 130. Mrs. Weinman From: Naomi Weinman [mailto:qcnweinman@aol.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2016 1:51 PM To: Naomi Weinman Subject: Fwd: Queens College Mathematics Students Partner with Cents Ability My name is Samantha Shlimbaum and I am a graduate from Queens College, Class of 2013. I currently work for Cents Ability- we are NYC based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that delivers education and engaging financial literacy workshops to high school students free of charge. Estefania Heriera copied on this email is also a graduate from Queens College, she graduated with a Mathematics Secondary Education degree, and works for Flushing International High School. My nonprofit is accepting one of her current students as an intern. She had informed me to reach out to you both in order to facilitate an event we are throwing at Queens College. We are seeking to make a Cents Ability Chapter at Queens College to connect current college students with high school teens, through our financial literacy program. As a volunteer they are trained to teach 45 minute modules on Goal Setting, Budgeting, Savings and Banking, Credit Cards and the Stock Market. We also have a class on college loans, for student to be understand the debt they are taking on, and finance options for college. Financial literacy programming within high schools is very limited throughout the United States and there has been a push since the recession to better inform teens on money management skills. I was hoping you would be able to facilitate this flyer throughout your department, and possibly email your students information on our event. This is a great opportunity for your future Mathmatics teachers to practice instructing in a classroom alongside our trained volunteers from within the finance industry. Our partnership with QC will help in our outreach to high need schools in Southeast Queens. The event will be this coming Wednesday, February 10th during free hour in PH 130. Look forward to hearing from you. -- Samantha Shlimbaum Programs Coordinator Cents Ability, Inc. c/o Societe Generale 245 Park Avenue, 5th floor New York, NY 10167 Direct Line: 212.278.7646 www.cents-ability.org<http://www.cents-ability.org> -- Alice F.

Dear TIME 2000 Friends and Family, MATHCOUNTS Manhattan is in need of volunteers for the math competition on Feb. 6, 2016. You may have participated in MATHCOUNTS when you were in middle school; you might want to learn about it for your future students. A simple breakfast and lunch will be provided and you will receive a MATHCOUNTS Manhattan t-shirt. Most volunteers will be needed to help score contest rounds using an answer key from around 9:30am to 12:30pm, though we'll also need some help with registration, student lunch, trophy set up, and other tasks throughout the day. After scoring lunch, you are welcome to stay for the keynote speaker. If you would like to volunteer, read below and the attached document, then contact Eve (my niece) at eve(a)mathm.org<mailto:eve@mathm.org>. Sincerely, Naomi Weinman Subject: Fwd: MATHCOUNTS Manhattan Volunteer Info -----Original Message----- From: Eve Drucker <eve(a)mathm.org<mailto:eve@mathm.org>> Subject: MATHCOUNTS Manhattan Volunteer Info MATHCOUNTS Volunteers, MATHCOUNTS Manhattan 2016 is coming up in less than three weeks! The competition will be held on Saturday, February 6th at Stuyvesant High School (345 Chambers Street) with most volunteers arriving at 9:15 AM. If you have not let me know if you can make it, please respond back to this message so I can get an accurate list. I am attaching the detailed volunteer info sheet for 2016 for your reference. One of our participating schools (Park East Day School, located in the E 60s) is unable to participate at the Saturday competition due to religious observances. I am looking for one person who is available during the day on Tuesday, February 2nd to administer the contest rounds to them at their school. If you are interested, please let me know! A proctoring script and all materials will be provided; you will not be required to score the tests. I will also be setting up along with a few coaches in the late afternoon/early evening at Stuyvesant on Friday, February 5th (sorting t-shirts by school, unboxing trophies, etc.). We could probably use help from a few volunteers as well so let me know if you're interested in set up the day before. Thank you!
