6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 1, 1990 PICTURED HERE ARE members of Big Brothers and Sisters organization Annie and Norm Holmes and Elaine Johnson acceptin Stavely. g a $500 cheque from B.C. Hydro district manager Roy B.C. Hydro supports Big Brothers and Sisters Siavely explains, "We waited to do something worthwhile. A few months ago, I attended a meeting — of the Big Brothers and Sisters and came away from it feeling that Terrace has a strong need for this organization." He and some of his Staff at Hydro proposed to B.C. Hydro’s head office that money be donated to this worthy organization, designed to alleviate pressure on single parents and provide another adult influence through recreational and educational activities with the child(ren). Stavely says that Hydro is sensitive to the fact that they're a public corporation and they are - very judicious about donations. This is only the second presentation made to a_ local organization from B.C. Hydro since Stavely’s arrival in Terrace 16 months ago. Elaine Johnson feels that Big Brothers and Sisters should be able to meet their goal of a January 1, 1991 opening if fundraising proceeds as well as it has to date. Hydro’s cheque is their first official corporation sponsorship of the organization locally, but they have had other commitments. Johnson explains, “Big Brothers will let up open our doors once we have raised $5000 (to cover the wages of a part-time social worker/manager). The Holmes, recently appointed fundraising coordinators, say they’ve just about reached $5000 with fundraising through chocolate bar sales and car washes. $10,000 is their desired goal by January 1. Every month, they plan to have at least one Big Brothers and. Sisters fundraiser. Both to raise monies and to make the community aware of the need for and purpose of, the Big Brothers and Sisters organization. In a needs survey done in Terrace prior lo the commitment to begin a Big Brothers and Sisters organization in Terrace, it was determined that there are 300 to 400 children who would benefit from the friendship. of a Big Brother or Sister. To date, 50 young people have registered an¢ 25 volunteers have put their names forward, Big Brothers and Sisters’ monthly car washes will continue. Organizers encourage the young people to get involved. Big Brothers and Sisters volunteers will be operating the Beer Garden at Riverside Park during Riverboat Days’ slo-pitch ball tournament, Proceeds will be put towards their $10,000 goal. September is Big Brothers and Sisters’ Awareness Month. During that month, they will be doing a membership drive, an information booth in the Skeena Mall and a fun golf tournament. More information will be forthcoming next month.
