Meeting of May 19: The speaker was Matt McDowell of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Greater Miami Valley. For more than 100 years Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, the organization makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers and children, ages 6 to 18, in communities across the country. Positive relationships are developed that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.. The Greater Miami Valley affiliate began in 1960 and serves over 450 youths in one-to-one matches. Their biggest need is more volunteer mentors, since they currently have a waiting list of over 100 kids that are in need of a mentor.

Matt related many examples of success stories and reasons that mentoring provides such valuable guidance to youngsters. As a fundraiser, Big Brothers Big Sisters is now partnering with the Dayton Dragons in a 50/50 raffle held at ballgames, for which volunteers are needed. For more volunteer information, and to find out more about mentoring see the organization's website at http://www.bbbsgmv.org/site/c.clKWIiOUIfJ6H/b.6400069/k.FB2D/Big_Brothers_Big_Sisters_of_the_Greater_Miami_Valley.htm. Thanks to Matt for a dynamic and touching presentation.
