MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 30, 2013 04:27 PM
From: Representative Michelle F. Brownlee
To: All House members
Subject: Resolution recognizing the month of January 2014 as “Big Brothers Big Sisters Month” in Pennsylvania.
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a Resolution recognizing the month of January 2014 as “Big Brothers Big Sisters Month” in Pennsylvania.

As you know, Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nonprofit organization that establishes mentoring relationships to bring caring adults into the lives of underserved and vulnerable children. Studies show that children who live in areas that have high poverty, high instances of juvenile arrests, or live in single parent households are heavily impacted by homelessness, familial incarceration, and attend struggling schools and are at a greater risk of academic and social failure.

Working through a network of donors, partners, family members, volunteers and advocates, Big Brothers Big Sisters supports and enriches the lives of participants while promoting and reinforcing positive activities, behaviors and attitudes for the children and their families that the organization serves.

With that said, I am proud to offer this Resolution and I invite you to join me by co-sponsoring this measure. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (717) 787-3480.
