A visit to the Cariboo Corn Maze is just one of the many fun activities enjoyed by Big Brothers Big Sisters and their Littles.

Big Brothers Big Sisters and Little Brothers Little Sisters enjoyed the Cariboo Corn Maze and a delicious lunch last weekend.  This outing was sponsored by Quesnel Community Policing and City of Quesnel.

Thank you to everyone who has dropped off their pennies at 368 Vaughan.  We have collected $300 to date.  The penny campaign is an ongoing fundraiser.

Shop early for Christmas! Buy shopping cards for many of our local businesses through BBBSQ.  We receive a percentage of the revenue from the purchased cards.  All of the money raised stays in our community. Sears and Subway are the promotional stores this month. Call us at 250-992-7257.

If you have winter coats that you would like to donate, you can drop them off at Kwik Klean for them to clean before they bring them to our office.  Other winter apparel – boots, hats, snow pants – is also appreciated.

Start Something BIG. A couple of hours each week or two makes a lifetime of difference.

Big Brothers Big Sisters welcomes people to drop by the Little Big House or call  to learn about the different programs and how they could join the group.

Currently there are 30 children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister.  Our volunteers have fun, feel good about themselves

and know that they are making a difference in a child’s life.

A flexible time frame can be arranged in order to work around one’s schedule.

The agency provides ongoing support to the matches and sponsors many local activities.

Community In-School Mentors are also needed to spend one hour per week with an elementary student.

Maggie Bello is executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel and is a regular Observer columnist.
