During the lunch, Nicole Norris from the Children’s Aid Society was on had to announce the push to double the volunteers and participants in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program. She explained that word of mouth is so important and that everyone in attendance knows of someone who would be a great adult volunteer and mentor to a child.
