267.0. "Big Brother Assoc." by FDCV03::COLLOPY () Mon Aug 22 1988 21:07

   
    
     	I'd like to encourage any guys 18 to 80 yrs old to consider
    joining Big Brothers.  This is an agency that pairs fatherless boys
    aged 7 to 13 with volunteers willing to provide some time.  I have
    been a B.B. for 2 years in Boston and 5 years in Phx. The time spent
    with the 2 boys has produced many enjoyable moments and challenges.
    I find that spending time with a 10-11 yr old boy provides a much
    needed contrast to the everyday work grind.

        The only prerequisite is a commitment to spend 4 hrs/week for
    at least one year. (note: 4 hrs is an average figure, you may not
    see the boy one week but spend 2 days camping the next..) The goal
    is to provide a strong role model while enjoying yourselves.  There
    is a long waiting list in most large metropolitan areas. 
    
    	I have copies of some B.B. brochures and would welcome the 
    opportunity to answer any questions and brag about my 2 Little
    Brothers.  I will include some phone #s for the New England BB/BS
    agencies.  Most large cities have a B.B. agency so look them up or
    contact the US headquarters in Philly for the closest agency.
    
        
        
                                     Thanks,
