Our club inducted its newest member on September 26 and then learned more about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mercer County and its “greater than ever” need for volunteer mentors.
Hamilton resident Sharon Harkin was sworn in as our 52nd member.  She has had a career helping senior citizens, most recently starting Tailored Solutions concierge services for older adults.  Welcome Sharon!
Most of the meeting, though, focused on helping young people.
Stephanie Karpowicz, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mercer County, said there is a wait list of area youths in need of volunteer mentors.  The commitment is just a few hours a month, but it can make a lifelong difference, she said.  For information, visit mercerbbbs.org.
