2008 has been a year of renovation and improvements for our “little green house”. This much needed TLC is in BIG thanks to the support and generosity of the Rotary Club of Cornwall. All doors and windows have been replaced. We also received a new furnace and had central air installed. Here at BBBS we are very grateful and appreciative towards Rotary for their support. RACHEL'S KIDS Rachel's Kids led by Dr. Rachel Navaneelan is a charitable organiztion that strives to improve the lives of children in need, both locally and globally. Rachel's Kids recently donated $5000 to Big Brothers & Big Sisters. Thanks to Dr. Navaneelan and to Rachel's Kids Board of Directors.
