Out of the some 13 people that were present, six volunteered• to be on the committee. Don Jefferson, Clarence Denomme, June Tomkins, Andy Uyl, Jack McLaughlin and Karen Lippincot all took the first steps. The steering com- mittee will be involved in the initial formation of the Clinton and area division. With the help of Marianne Frayne and Tracy Baker, two students who were hired through Experience '78 to look into the possibilities of forming a Big Brother agency in the area, the committee will elect an executive and in turn look for possible Big Brother candidates to offer companionship to the some 35 fatherless boys in the area. Candidates for Big Brothers must be 18 years old and will be carefully screened before they are approved . Once accepted, the Big Brother is matched with a fatherless boy who shares the same interests and has a similar personality. "You always get guys who say that they don't know what to do with kids but there's really alot you can . do with some little guy," stressed Bruce Shaw, member of the Exeter Big' Brother group, as he spoke to the small audience. "Some men will volunteer, and some have to be approached. Alot of us have a feeling of inadequacy but deep inside we're just waiting for someone to ask us," he added. He explained that a good place to start looking for possible, Big Brother candidates is by talking to the local Kinsmen, Lions and Legion members. "Some skills come into the organization and you should try to get the help of some professionals, but generally it's just enthusiasm - that's needed," Mr. Shaw suggested. Mr. Shaw, also the mayor of Exeter and an English teacher, ex- plained that Big Brother has been active in Exeter for about a year now and" is very successful. Despite that fact that it is a volunteer, non-profit organization Mr. Shaw said that the Exeter branch has great financial support. "We were surprised with the generosity of the people in our town. Our first donation was $100," he said. He explained that the money can be used by a Big Brother, for instance, who doesn't have much money but would like to take his little brother to a baseball game in Toronto. The money could also be put towards a party of all' the brothers, big and little. In Exeter the big and little brothers like to join together. They all at- tended a local playoff hockey game in . the winter and a merchant in town wants to take the whole group out to din- ner. "At first I couldn't see see the relevance in this program," Mr: 'Shaw claimed, "I have good kids .and I'm a good father." ' He further explained that after he was ap- proached a few times by mothers who were looking for male com- panions u for their fatherless boys he took interest in the organization. Now that the Exeter South Huron branch is in full operation, they decided .to sponsor Tracy Baker and Marianne Frayne who have been setting up similar agencies throughout the area HAY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.
