Greetings Everyone

It's hard to believe but summer's here and another school year is over. We hope all our littles had a successful year, and we hope you all have a great summer. Remember, Play Safe!

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION

Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Peterborough would like to thank everyone who came out to our Volunteer Appreciation in April. We hope you all enjoyed the movie. Thanks for all you do.

 GREENWING FISHING DERBY SATURDAY APRIL 30th

The kids who went to the fishing derby had a great day. The folks at GE did too. The weather was not the greatest but we can't do much about that. Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Peterborough would like to thank all the volunteers from the GE ELFUN Group for sharing their time with us. A special THANK YOU goes to Mark Collins & Tristan Janusc for their hard work organizing the event. We look forward to many more fishing derbies with your group.

TORONTO ROCK LACROSSE SUNDAY APRIL 10TH, 2005
We all had fun at the Lacrosse game at the ACC in Toronto. The Rock won the game after a huge comeback, which made the game even more exciting.

Big & Little Outing Ideas

RACE NIGHT AT PETERBOROUGH SPEEDWAY
Saturday July 9th, 2005 is Big Brothers/Big Sisters Night at Peterborough Speedway, Sherbrooke St. W. (just west of Hwy 7). Bigs and Littles get in free when they show their membership cards and Littles will get to go for a ride in a race car with the driver. The racing starts at 7:00 pm and goes until 10:30 pm. Gates open at 5:00 pm Get ready, get set and go have a fun evening. This will also be a fundraiser for the agency as the speedway has donated a season's pass to be given away. Each person who donates a minimum of $10.00 to Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Peterborough will be entered into a draw to win the pass. Go visit the Speedway' s website at: www.peterboroughspeedway.com Come out and have some fun. Hope to see you all there.

Bursary for Littles

If you are graduating and plan to continue your education at a post secondary school please send us a letter telling us about your match and where you will be going to school. You could receive a bursary from the Agency.

OFAH Tackle Share - Do you like fishing? Would you like to go fishing but don't have the equipment? Did you know that we have everything you need to go fishing here at the office? Well we do. We are an OFAH Tackleshare loaner site. We have rods and reel and some tackle as well. It's as easy as borrowing a library book. Just come into the office and fill out a form and away you go. This is a great way for Bigs and Littles to spend some time together on a sunny afternoon.
