Best Buddies is an organization at UWEC that was formed in September 1998. It has slowly but effectively become a bigger and more successful organization at UWEC. I have been an active member for the past two years. Best Buddies is a wonderful experience for you and your community buddy. The organization requires you to talk via phone with your buddy at least once a week, and to get together with your buddy at least once a month. This is a very enriching experience for all who are involved. If this sounds like an organization you are interested in, please contact Lisa Hood at hoodlt@uwec.edu or visit our web site at http://dc01.uwec.edu/orgs/display.asp?id=82
