***Please bring 2 baked undecorated cupcakes (for yourself and your mentor/mentee), as well as decorating supplies (i.e.–sprinkles, icing, and etc). We shall be providing a limited amount of decorating supplies, so do please remember to bring your own as well.

We should always have three friends in our lives. One who walks ahead who we look up to and we follow. One who walks beside us who’s with us every step of our journeys, and one who we reach back for and we bring along after we’ve cleared the way. That last friend represents our need to mentor, to lend our experiences and our wisdom in hopes that it will give someone after us the strength to reach a little higher and dream a little bigger.
