Photo of the Week - January 13, 2008

Friends,
Oh No!!! Technical difficulties...No pictures this week. Here is the text to go along with the photos I hope to send next Sunday. My apologies!

This weekend was fantastic with the comfort of routine and some special events as well. Today I spent time with my little sister, Beckie. We went to the Lakeview Museum to see a photography exhibit. As I become more involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters as a board member and as a big, I grow in appreciation of the organization. On Saturday I went to a board retreat for BBBS. In addition to the numerous inspiring testimonies I heard of Bigs and Littles, one economic statistic still lingers in my mind. The cost of supporting one match for one year is $1000.00 vs. the cost of maintaining a juvenile for one year in governmental correctional programs averages $65000.00. Today's paper covered the organization on the front page. See more at http://pjstar.com/stories/011308/TRI_BFDF33UD.005.php

Have an excellent week.

Jada
