Pet of The Week - Pauley D!
Heyyyy it’s your boy Pauley D.! I’m a feisty 3 year old tom cat and I was living the street life until a kind person found me and brought me to CAHS. I was very skinny when I came in, but I'm working on packing the pounds back on and I'm looking better and better every day. Soon enough I'll be ready for the fight club... but we don’t talk about the fight club. I’m definitely a scrapper though so I would probably do best in a home without other cats, especially males. I don’t mind kids, although little ones can be a little too much for me to handle. Will you be the one that gives me a chance? A free spirit like me needs a space I can call my own, I'm getting really tired of being around all these other cats anyways.

Bigs Celebrates Senior Mentoring Specialist’s 16th Anniversary
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (Bigs) is proud to recognize and honor the 16th work anniversary of Senior Mentoring Specialist, Christie Ward-Strahan.
Christie first joined the mentoring staff as a Mentoring Specialist in 2006 and was later promoted to Senior Mentoring Specialist. In addition to providing superior support to her peers, she currently oversees volunteer recruitment, child enrollment and the creation and support of matches between Bigs and Littles in Charlevoix and Emmet counties. She is also a former Big Sister, an Ambassador for the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce, mom to two wonderful children and a wife to her loving husband Mike.
Christie is a true believer that every single child has potential and with that a portfolio of experiences that make them who they are as they interact with the world which makes her an incredible advocate and asset for the children in Bigs’ program.
“We often say that Christie’s superpower is her innate ability to connect with the children, Mentors and families she works with. Her matches have often commented that they feel heard and trust that she will guide them every step of the way. This paves the way for them to build meaningful and impactful relationships, “said Cecilia Chesney, CEO of Bigs. “She is an invaluable member of our team and is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
The team at Bigs, members of the Charlevoix Chamber Ambassadors group and select community members will gather on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at the Charlevoix Chamber to celebrate Christie and her incredible accomplishments. If you are interested in joining the festivities, please RSVP by Monday, November 7 to Kris.Hoxie@bigsupnorth.com.
