What’s
New: February 2008 BBBS Matching Pizza Party
Back row from left to right: BB Cordairo Hansen, BS Ruth Gordon, BS Shirley Morrison, BS Kianne Campbell, & BB Glen Morrison. Christmas with BBBS and Phi Delta Theta Christmas – often thought of a time with family where we can openly appreciate the ones we love. This is viewed by many as the most important holiday, in regards to personal beliefs and social beliefs. Time is taken out of our busy schedules to slow down and give thanks for the things that we are grateful for. Sometimes however, it often appears as if the things that would be worth giving thanks for are so far away. Well as Southwestern College a young group of men have teamed up to show their thankfulness by helping out others. Phi Delta Theta, a fraternity established over a hundred year and present in Winfield for near 15 years, is made up by a fine group of young men. This chapter of Phi Delta Theta is made up of many different traditions from across the nation. Aver a three day period, from December 12th to the 14th; these men brought together their favorite parts of the Christmas holiday together to pass on to ten youth across Cowley County.

Our
Mission: “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cowley County helps boys and girls, most of whom are considered at risk and live in single-parent homes, achieve their full potential through long-term personal relationships with carefully screened and caring volunteers.
Our board of directors is comprised of 15 members that represent Arkansas City, Winfield, and the surrounding areas. The program has served over 300 kids since 1994, and our longest running match is still going and has been for over eight years. We started Bigs in Schools the fall of 2001 and Pass It On in the spring of 2003. How
you can help: We are looking for a larger office space closer to downtown. Ideally, we would like to have 3 separate rooms for offices, along with a reception area and room to hold meetings in. We also have comprised a wish list with the following items: copying machine & office supplies. Volunteer to be a Big Brother or Big Sister, organize an activity for our Little's on our waiting list, be a board member, serve on our screening commitee screening potential volunteer's files . There are 100 youth in Cowley County that have requested mentors and our vision is to provide all of the youth in need, with healthy mentoring relationships. Joan Tamburini is responsible for developing relationships and awareness throughout Cowley County to generate financial and volunteer support for BBBS. To schedule a Little Moments presentation for your organization, please contact Joan at: jtamburini@skyerock.net or 620-262-7063.
