Jeff Goldberg grew up in Potomac and is in charge of the Northern Virginia Bureau for ABC7/WJLA news and News Channel 8. He was the guest speaker at Herndon's 31st Annual Mayor's Volunteer Appreciation Awards Ceremony last month.

Goldberg described his one-year commitment to volunteering as a Big Brother. Six years later, that relationship continues. "We're family," he said.

Goldberg recounted how one of his friends who was involved in the Big Brother/Big Sister program recruited him when he worked in Minneapolis six years ago. "He didn't take no for an answer."

It was a one year commitment; at the end of a year, some people end their volunteering. "That thought didn't cross my mind," he said, of his "little" brother. "We're family."
