                                  PIC / Frederick

             Building Community With Time Banking

 

With a new local office and a full-time coordinator, Partners In Care has committed to expanding its membership and fulfilling its mission to more Frederick Countians.

 

Emily Kilby, PIC/Frederick coordinator since January '07, is a Volunteer in Service to America (VISTA) whose primary work goal is to recruit new members and facilitate increased service exchanges among the PIC community.

 

Emily is a ‘65 graduate of Hood College, with a MA in English and MFA in creative writing from Bowling Green State University in ‘70 and ‘71. Her work career has included a variety of employments, from teaching to farm work to 25 years as a writer and editor at EQUUS, a horse magazine. Emily’s education in gerontology has been hands-on, learned while assisting many aged aunts and now her 89-year-old mother as they remained independent in their homes. 

 

 

       Wish List:     

 

Community activists in Emmitsburg, Thurmont,

Mt. Airy, Brunswick and Urbana to extend PIC

service exchanges throughout Frederick County.
