New Faces and Great Places

Thank you to all the Tulsa Area Bigs and Littles who joined program staff for our Spring Event at the Oklahoma Aquarium on Sunday. We hope you all had a great time and welcome your suggestions for future event locations.

We welcome two new persons to our program staff; Tallie Friedman will be working alongside our partners at the Big Brothers Big Sisters office in Green Country to help facilitate the matching process. Michelle Chapman is our new Program Specialist and her efforts will be directed towards creating program awareness in southern and central Oklahoma.
