We attend the Edgewood Nursing Home on the
third Saturday of the month.
Members talk with the residents, play games
with them, and read to them.
This is our way of giving back to the elders of the
community.
We may be asked to help with other activities as
volunteers.
Attendance will be taken.
 The whole group attends a member or
mentor’s church on the fourth Sunday
of the month.
 This is encouraged so that you can be
exposed to other forms of worship.
 This is NOT mandatory if your parents
would rather you attend your own
church.

Please keep in mind that 4th Sunday was
chosen to coincide with our middle and high
school program as this would be most
convenient.

BADD student leadership will begin to plan trips
to college campuses.


Exposure to the collegiate experience, as well
as business tours is something we propose to
do throughout the 2013-2014 school year.
Speakers from the business community will
be brought in to some of our meetings.

We will be holding car washes in order to raise
money for these trips. (Please tell everyone that you
know owns a car to come!)
Each BADD member is expected to attend. If unable
to attend, speak to your mentor.
Fundraising is paying for our trips and we will take
attendance at fundraisers. Those who choose not to
help at car washes or other fund raisers will not be
able to attend the “fun” events.

Communication with your mentor is ESSENTIAL
for this program to work.
We will find out about your behavior/grades
eventually, so be proactive in communicating with
your mentor. (Tell us first)
Make sure your mentor has updated contact
information (if your number changes, let us know)
Call your mentor to check on events happening on
the weekends.(Set a schedule)

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say "I can."
Look them over, the wise and great,
They take their food from a common plate
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes,
The world considers them brave and smart.
But you've all they had when they made their
start.
You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if only you will,
You're well equipped for what fight you
choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen, great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go.
How much you will study the truth to know,
God has equipped you for life, But He
Lets you decide what you want to be.
Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win,
So figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began.
Get hold of yourself, and say: "I can."
