{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
There's a thing that you render [?], not only just the brotherhood with each other, but I say with youngsters in the community. In the community type action.

[00:39:35]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Terry? Jeff? Jeff.

[00:39:39]
{SPEAKER name="Jeff"}
Yes, we do various things for our community. One thing that we do, we're involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Philadelphia and we take on a youngster and become their big brother or big sister. And we also do tutoring services.

[00:39:53]
{SPEAKER name="Jeff"}
One of our things we feel strongly about is bringing the community to the university. Because the two of them have been separated cause the people in the neighborhood feel as though they aren't supposed to mingle within the college.

[00:40:09]
{SPEAKER name="Jeff"}
There's a lot of programs that would benefit them and it will also benefit us by having them there. So, we have political leaders come down campus, we have dance clubs come down campus, and various things. We give talent shows every year.

[00:40:25]
{SPEAKER name="Jeff"}
We do have skating [?] parties, but there's also fun things. We give, also, regular parties. We do things that give people fun and education at the same time, hopefully.

[00:40:35]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Uh, Jeff mentioned Big Brothers. That's kinda ironic cause I just got back yesterday. I took my little brother to the Phillies game, and I just got finished driving all morning to get back here for you know, for this morning's events.

[00:40:53]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
We do a lot of fundraising and things which will involve youth in the community, because they are at the age where they can be influenced. Just today we had a school teacher come up and asked us if we could step at her grade school and we said "sure", cause we do those sorts of things all the time.

[00:41:16]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
If kids can look at us and say "Hey, they're in college, they're having fun, they're getting an education and they're still maintaining an identity", then it's something that we feel very good about doing.

[00:41:29]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
We don't charge price, you know money, or anything, not always. (Jokingly) But if you'd like to give it to us.

Transcription Notes:
[?] in the transcription denotes uncertainties I presume Speaker 3 is Terry who was mentioned by Speaker 2 in the beginning of the clip but I'll leave that up to the Reviewer to edit in -LH
