Highlands: 2015 marks a milestone in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Highlands history. Rick Siegel has decided to step down as Advisory Council Chair after presiding since 2002. Actually, the BBBS program would not be in Highlands if not for Rick’s initiative, which was his Leadership Highlands project.
Rick’s dream of developing a Highlands BBBS branch within the BBBS of Western North Carolina came to fruition through his hard work and dedication to help the children in Highlands. Now entering its 13th year of operation, Rick can proudly look back at the program’s record of serving over 250 local children.
Although Rick has resigned from chairing the council, he promises to remain available to help in fundraising efforts and to continue to be a vocal advocate for the program. Almost everyone in Highlands knows energetic, enthusiastic Rick. BBBS is thankful to have him still passionate about the program and its future success. With Rick’s resignation, a huge hole needs to be filled. Please consider joining the council to carry on the work of this very important service organization.
Cashiers: BBBS of Cashiers has received wonderful support from the community. The program has gained such momentum that the waiting list for children desiring mentors keeps growing. With this growing need, the council has decided to host another Meet ‘n Greet for folks interested in learning more about the program and how they can help.
Please join us for a Meet ‘n Greet at 5:00 P.M. Thursday, March 19, at Buck’s Coffee Café – Cashiers.
