Celebrating a Beautiful Mentoring Journey that began on January 25th, 2013!

After 12 incredible years,  Taya is officially graduating from the BBBS program, and what a journey it has been! What an absolute pleasure it has been getting to know Taya and watch her grow up!

Mary, who once thought she was too old to be a Big Sister, took on the role after her retirement and says Taya has been the best thing to happen to her during this time. Their bond has flourished as they’ve discovered shared passions and learned so much from each other along the way. Mary, you have been one of the absolute best! We will certainly miss your visits to the office & the cookies.

Taya credits Mary with igniting her love for baking and cooking, while Mary has embraced Taya’s enthusiasm for animals. Taya vividly recalls the moment she first visited Mary’s home and knew immediately that she had found her forever Big Sister. She remembers the treehouse in Mary’s yard, a magical place that still holds a special spot in her heart.

Mary reminisces about their imaginative adventures, from building indoor tents for camping to Taya leading the way with her amazing creativity. She proudly admires Taya’s hard work and perseverance in school, knowing that she has tough her a great deal about reading along the way.
Today, these two incredible women continue to meet regularly for lunch, excited to nurture their friendship beyond the traditional Big and Little roles. Taya envisions Mary cheering her on at her graduation and someday at her wedding.
Here’s to the meaningful connections that shape our lives! Cheers to Mary and Taya for their inspiring story!
