    The Connection Cookbook: 3 Positive Application Recipes for Volunteers at Face to Face
    (2025-05-07) Mary Anderson, Landree Salazar, Taylor Siegal, Don Thiry
    The Connection Cookbook is a curated set of interventions designed to generate momentum in volunteer engagement at Face to Face, a nonprofit organization serving the unhoused population in Germantown, Philadelphia. The initiative emphasizes strengthening connections through enhanced communication, interaction, structure, and recognition. From a menu of evidence-informed options, Face to Face selected three core strategies to implement: a quarterly email newsletter, structured rituals to open and close volunteer shifts, and a volunteer appreciation event. The accompanying "Cookbook" includes sample newsletter content, templates for rituals, an event agenda, evaluation guidance, and additional unselected intervention options for future consideration. These strategies are low-cost, relatively simple to execute, and can be delegated mainly to members of Face to Face's robust yet underutilized volunteer base—thereby minimizing the additional burden on the already overstretched Volunteer Manager at Face to Face.

    Collation Model for Ms. Codex 290: La legenda di s[an]ct[i]ss[im]i Thebey soto Dioclitiano & Maximiano i[m]p[er]ato[r]i.
    (2025-03-19) Porter, Dot
    An Italian version of the extremely popular legend of the martyrdom of the Theban Legion, supposedly decimated in the reign of Diocletian and Maximian because so many of its officers and men adhered to the Christian faith. The massacre is supposed to have taken place at St. Maurice-en-Valais (now in Switzerland). The commander of the legion (which was composed entirely of men from the Thebaid in Egypt) was Maritius, later canonized.

    Collation Model for Ms. Codex 197: [Contemplations of the dread and love of God] ... [etc.]
    (2025-03-19) Porter, Dot
    Manuscript copy of the text, Contemplations of the dread and love of God, sometimes erroneously attributed to Richard Rolle. This text covers f. 1-131 of the manuscript; it begins in the middle of the early section, What ys charite; how and whi thou schalt love God, and lacks the final leaf where this text ends and the next begins. Followed by additional prayers, poems, and homilies. These include prayers to Jesus, the Blessed Virgin, St. John the Baptist, St. Katherine and others. Also includes texts on virtues and on the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.
