			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Big Brothers Big Sisters has an exciting new program mentoring children of prisoners</strong>. We have received a grant through the Department of Health and Human Services and partnered with other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across the state to serve children who have a parent in a state or federal prison. This program is being called Amachi. We are looking to serve children ages 6-14 who have one or both parents in state or federal prison, or have a significant loved one in state or federal prison. For more information, please contact our agency. The volunteers for this program are primarily from the faith based community..</p>
<p><strong>If your community organization or business would like BBBSC to come to you and conduct a free presentation, call 931-647-1418</strong>. We want you to know what our agency does and how we impact the children in this community.</p>
<p><strong>Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2009 was a huge success and fun for everyone involved. </strong>We expanded the event to include all three bowling centers in Clarksville, TN!  Thursday, March 5 was college night at Skyline Lanes. On Saturday, March 7 the Main Event was held at The Pinnacle.  Sunday, March 8 was the Youth Bowl at Eastgate Lanes.  We hosted a sponsor&#8217;s reception on Friday March 6, at the Franklin Room of F&amp;M Bank.  The event raised a total of $65,000 to support our mentoring programs.</p>
<p><strong>Golf for Kids&#8217; Sake was held on July 31, 2009. </strong>This four person scramble was held at Swan Lake Golf Course and Sam&#8217;s Club was our title sponsor.  The event raised $10,000 for our agency.</p>
<p><strong>The Community Calendar is now on Sale!</strong> In July, BBBSC, day-viewed our first ever 18-month Community Wide calendar featuring the artwork of Lynne Griffey, a retired school teacher and local artist.  Each month is featured by a different painting that depicits the Clarksville community.  The calendars are $18 and are on sale at Big Brothers Big Sisters and all F&amp;M Bank locations.</p>
<p><strong>Male Volunteers needed! </strong>We have more than 100 children who are ready to be matched right now.  They range in age from 6-15 and more than 80% are boys.  We know that children who have a mentor as a child are more successful in school, less likely to use drugs and alcohol and are much more likely to grow into successful adults who attend and finish college.</p>
