Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Western Kentucky Closes its Doors

By Drew Adams

Murray, KY – The Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Calloway, Trigg, Christian and Todd counties will close unexpectedly as of July 31, 2011. The non-profit's Board of Directors met earlier this month and decided to begin the process of dissolving the organization. Members of the organization have attempted to notify all of its volunteers and beneficiaries of the impending closure. Regional Secretary Nancy Mieure says the closing is a result of a lack of funding and adds that the dissolution will occur in such a manner as to allow the counties to rejoin the organization in the future.
