WAY TO GO EVERYONE
We had many businesses, CK
Celebs and of course our Bigs

part in the bowling fun. We had
some amazing costumes for our
theme of Rock thru the Ages.

On February 4th, we
celebrated Everybody’s
Birthday at the Satellite
Restaurant.
There was a lot of pizza,
pop and cake for all. A big
thanks to Amanda for the
awesome cake! And the
nummy cup cakes that
went with it..
With all the balloons and
excitement it was sure a
great Birthday Celebration.
We even had some word
puzzles and gifts to add to
the festivities!
Happy 2014
Birthday to all!

MENTORS NEEDED!
Know of anyone that would make
a good mentor?
Why not mention all of our
programs and volunteer
opportunities?
WHAT IF…
Every child fulfills his or her potential?
WHAT IF...
Every child is set on the right path?
WHAT IF…
Every child in Canada finishes high school,
college or university, gets a job and gives
back to their community?
We are currently recruiting Big Brothers,
Big Sisters, In-School Mentors and Group
Mentors.
A small amount of time can make a BIG
difference. Start something today by
spreading the word.
Unlocking a child’s true potential creates a
future where anything’s possible.
WOULDN’T THAT BE SOMETHING??
