The Kappa Sigma fraternity recently participated in the Maine Public Broadcasting Network’s annual fundraising telethon. They manned phones and computers collecting donations from MPBN’s loyal viewers. Why volunteer time to collect money for a television network? Sean Sormanti, treasurer of the fraternity, said that they like to get involved with groups like MPBN because of the large impact that they have on the local and state community. He said that they are able to reach a larger number of people by working with MPBN then they would have been able to reach otherwise. MPBN’s schedule consists of programming for children, unbiased news coverage, and documentaries about the world around us. An upcoming special they are excited about, which airs April 15th, is titled America at a Crossroads, which strives to educate people about the post 9/11 world. Information about this and MPBN’s other broadcasts can be found at http://www.mpbc.org/.
