Big Brothers Big Sisters Lacombe recognizes long-time matches
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lacombe and District will mark 30 years of helping the community this January.
But before that, the organization is hosting its annual Great Big Christmas Dinner and Awards Night on Monday.
This year, a number of people will honoured for five and 10 year matches, plus there will be one pair recognized for their long-lasting match of 40 years.
Andy Pawlyk was matched with his ‘little’ Chris Sellathamby in 1978 in Red Deer before the organization had branched out to Lacombe. Sellathamby is flying in from his current residence in Victoria to thank Pawlyk, whom he’s kept in touch with all these years.
