Introduction

• First Book/Le Premier Livre (FB/LPL) needs the help of Canadian Pi Beta Phi fraternities, to identify community schools and programs that can benefit from FB/LPL resources.

• Goal: Register a minimum of 10 groups each in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg.


STEP 1: Find a Program

• Groups that serve at least 80% children from low-income families are eligible to receive books from FB/LPL.

• Look at the “What Types of Programs Does First Book Canada Serve?” flier to help you identify groups in your area.

• Try searching the following keywords in Google: children’s literacy, literacy in Canada, low-income families.

• Visit Charity Village and United Way


STEP 2: Fill out the Registration Worksheet

• Record the program’s name, mission, website, population served (age range and number of children) and any other pertinent information in the Excel spreadsheet.

• Send the completed worksheet to [email protected] by January 14th, 2011.

• FB/LPL will determine group eligibility and return the worksheet to you.


STEP 3: Connect with the Program and Provide Registration Materials

• Connect with the program administrator and provide them with the “Receive Free Books from First Book/Le Premier Livre and Pi Beta Phi” flier.

• Direct the administrator to www.firstbookcanada.org and ask them to indicate that they were referred by Pi Beta Phi.


STEP 4: Follow up

• One week after giving registration materials to program administrators, contact Wayne Cochrane at FB/LPL to see which programs have newly registered.

• Contact the programs that have not yet registered and encourage them to complete the registration process, and provide them with further information if requested.
