The Galveston County Republican Women (GCRW) held their annual swearing-in of new officers in Galveston on Wednesday. The organization also honored Brenda Weber with its Women of Distinction Award. Its monthly meeting included a guest speaker from Big Brothers Big Sisters Gulf Coast.
Big Sister Shelly Teinert and her Little Sister Zaria were front and center on stage talking about what it means to be a duo.
“We sing and dance and do girls’ stuff,” Zaria said. With some prompting from her Big Sister she added, “We talk about grades and college.”
Zaria wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and for now, she is delighted to have a Big Sister to do fun things with.
Her Big Sister is glad to be able to support Zaria on her life journey.
GCRW presented a check for $1,500 to Big Brothers Big Sisters Gulf Coast.
