Awww.... The Strugles of Being A Small Struggling Orginzation...

Yea.. I know we stated before that SASY was created in 1995, but it went into a recession period until about the 2006 when another group of girls tried to start the program back up but it didn't work .... but in the fall of 2008 the program hit the jackpot with the two cordantiors Christian Breedy and Brittany Harrision. These two young ladies started the program in the fall of 2008 with a dream. Our first semester was a lil shaky, 1st we had all these lil sisters come out, and then the next week some stop coming and after a few weeks latter they all stooped coming And all we had left was a bunch of big sisters. Then we had no place to meet, montbello was too far and we had to run and find a room in the Jenkins's building. The biggest problem of all was that we had nooooooo money, not a dime to the organization's name. Since we are struggling college students are self's we had no money to give to the organization.


This semester we made a few changes , we gained new members and lost some but thats cool. We deiced to go recruit high school girls. we visited the different high schools in Baltimore city during the school day , walked around during the kids lunch periods and gave them the information about the program our self's. Instead of us reallying on people to convey the information for us. of course some girls fall out of the program , come one day stop coming and things like that, but we are working our best to keep the girls involved in the program to make them want to come next year and bring some friends along with them. Second, we found us a home meeting place in Jenkins building this semester, hopefully next semester we can keep meting there. We still have ONE MAJOR problem... we have NO MONEY. This semester we have raised a few dollars by our swore jar. So if you use any bad language you have to pay 50. Also we had a bake sale in different locations on the same day and we made about $60 dollars. But most of the things that we need for the organization we usually come out of our pockets for if the girls need snacks, fair for the bus home and anything that we might need if the organization the big sisters come out of there pocket for. For example, Christian Breedy took a few girls on a college tour to Howard and Bowie State University. Even thought christian told them to bring there own lunch a lot of the girls couldn't afford to bring there own lunch so christian had to pay for 5 girls to eat lunch during the trip not including her self. The things that we try to do for these girls takes a lot of time and hard work that the big sisters put in to make sure the girls are enjoying the experience that we are trying to give them .

NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE BIGGER AND BETTER!!!!!!
