GOVERNOR HONORS MAGS WORK WITH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS

Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley and First Lady Catherine OMalley hosted the Naval Academy Midshipman Action Group and Big Brothers Big Sisters at Government House April 22. Midshipmen met with children enrolled in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program throughout the academic year, spending several hours playing sports and participating in other activities to develop a bond with the children. This program has greatly influenced my life, not only at the academy, but in many aspects, said Midshipman 1st Class Colleen McFadden. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to participate in it, and feel so blessed to have the MAG program at school.
