Big for a Day is a Big Success!

  

2011 Big for a Day EventThere were 15 little sisters and over 15 EWGA members. Each little sister and her Big Sister volunteer were paired with an EWGA member. They played a round of 18 holes of mini-golf and talked about all kinds of fun things!

 

After, everyone enjoyed ice cream (donated by Brookmeadow's Wednesday league) and the little sisters received bracelets (made by Karen Cardillo and the women from the Pine Oaks league). Everyone had such a nice time that the Big Sister Association is looking forward to doing something with us in the future. We will begin planning for 2012!

 

Check out more photos of the fun on our website.
