</b>and <b>Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of the Cape and Islands</b> will host an after-hours event,
<i>Mentoring in Falmouth</i>, at Bad Martha Farmer’s Brewery on Thursday, January 11<sup>th</sup> to provide information about mentoring needs and opportunities in Falmouth. The event will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Appetizers will be provided.

<span style="font-size:12pt">Both programs are seeking mentors for young people in Falmouth who could benefit from a mentoring relationship. While Falmouth VIPS mentors are part of a school-based program, meaning the mentors meet with the child at school, the
BBBS matches meet outside of school. Both programs provide training and ongoing support to mentors throughout the duration of the match. Mentors are currently needed for young people between the ages of 5 – 14, with a particularly high need for mentors for
boys. </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt">The Mentoring in Falmouth event will provide attendees with a chance to meet mentors and staff from both programs, and learn about opportunities to mentor youth in either a school setting or in the community. RSVPs are appreciated
to get an accurate count for food. And, while you are never too young or too old to be a mentor, this event is 21+.</span></p>
