Welcome to the MARCH/APRIL 2010 Issue of the “BIG NEWS”

2010 Tim Hortons Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids' Sake was a great success!  It raised $80, 224.32 for Big Brothers Big Sisters 6 mentoring programs.  B4KS would not be possible without your help organizing teams, registering your teams, collecting pledges and then being at the Olympia/Nativity/Chesterville Lanes to help us celebrate.

Bowl for Kids Sake is our largest fundraiser and helps to keep us in the business of making a positive difference in kids lives through mentoring. We couldn’t do that without you!

 

BIG THANKS to all our Bigs, Littles, Board Members, Committee Members, and Staff for supporting Bowl for Kids Sake!  

 

Thank you to our volunteers who helped with the event, businesses and organizations who sponsored the event, bowlers who collected pledges, and to all the folks who sponsored bowlers!

 

Tim Hortons

Big Brothers Big Sisters wishes to thank our local Tim Horton families: Hill, McPhail, Moyer and Mato for their Bowl for Kids Sake sponsorship.   Their support helped make this year’s event a record breaking year!

Much Needed Renos Being Done!

The office has under gone some more renos.  The office has been lucky enough to replace the entrance flooring, bathroom flooring, a carpet runner on the steps and a new toilet.  These items were long over due to be replaced and we are so happy with the new look.  Check it out next time you are around the office and stay tuned for even more changes in this upcoming year, we hope.

GET READY TO ROCK!  SPRING CURLING EVENT

 The Recreation Association Committee has once again reserved the Cornwall Curling Rink for an afternoon of fun.  Curling has been a great success in the past few years and we have been asked to have it once again.  We will have instructors teaching us all about curling and after our lesson we will have plenty of time to play a game.   This is a great opportunity to teach your Little and open the door to possibilities for them in the future.  After curling we will have a delicious spaghetti supper at the curling rink.  We ask that each Big bring a dessert to the curling rink so we will have plenty of different treats to eat after dinner.  We hope that you will all come out for this great opportunity!  The cost of the event is $5 per person.  Please call the Big Brother/Big Sister office to register for this event so we know how many are coming to make sure we have enough food for everyone.
