Top Five: Big Brother Big Sisters Gives You a Chance to Meet a Penguin

Here are five things you need to know today:

1. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh will host a meet and greet at Jay's Sports Bar & Restaurant with broadcast sports analyst and former Penguin winger Bob Errey.

There will be half-price appetizers and drink specials for what BBBS Washington and Greene County program coordinator Sara Thomas described as a casual affair.

"It's going to be very informal and laid back," she said. "Come in, have fun and learn about the program."

Thomas said the Washington and Greene areas specifically need more Big Brothers (if you're 21 or older, you can apply). Applicants, she said, go through a screening process that includes in-person interviews, references and a background check.

More than 100 children in Washington and Greene counties benefited from the program last year, she said.
