Hello Facebook Community!

I'm the Executive Director for Committed Partners for Youth of Lane County and I wanted to let everyone know 2 things; 1) Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lane County is no longer in business in Eugene/Springfield and 2) Committed Partners for Youth of Lane County is by no way affiliated with the national Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring organization. We are in the process of waiting for FB to delete this page and account.

Thanks,

Jay Baughman

One day an old man was walking down the beach just before dawn. In the distance, he saw a young man picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. As the old man approached the young man, he asked, "Why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?" The young man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. The old man exclaimed, "But there must be thousands of starfish. How can your efforts make any difference?" The young man looked down at the starfish in his hand and as he threw it to safety in the sea, he said, "It makes a difference to this one!"
