September is Big Brother Recruitment Recruitment Month in Canada and all Big Brother agencies across Canada are looking for Big Brothers to match with Little Brothers. Big Brothers of Newcastle is one of these agencies and they, too, are looklng for more Big Brothers.- There are 10 Little Brothers waiting to be matched with a friend. Yes, that's what a Big Brother is - a friend. If you are a mature man (18 years and over) who is happy with your own life - how about sharing some of that happiness with someone else. The Agency asks Big Brother's to give a one year commitment and spend 3-4 hours a week with their Little Brother. Only this time commitment commitment can give the necessary opportunity opportunity for a friendship to grow and the confidence to a little boy that this person is not going to drop out of his life. Big Brother Volunteers are very special people who truly give of themselves. They are patient, mature, and of course, they enjoy children. Their commitment is not for a few hours, weeks, or months, but usually for a lifetime. Once a friendship develops it is forever. They may see less of one another as the Little Brother grows up, but they will always remain friends. As a member of the United Way of Oshawa-Whitby-Newcastle since January 1988, we receive approximately approximately 80Vo of our funding. Without their support we would not be able to provide our service to boys 6-16 years who do not have a consistant male in their lives. During the past year Big Brothers of Newcastle has had almost 70% growth with 20 present matches. The Town of Newcastle is growing in population and eventually the number of Little Brothers with a need for a companion will grow too. We.want to meet that growth by having Big Brother Volunteers available. . Bring happiness and friendship to a little boy while bringing personal growth and satisfaction to yourself BE A BIG BROTHER!
