Summer Class of 2016.
Congratulations to our first training class of 2016!
After completing 30 hours of training this past month, 7 new CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) were sworn in by the Honorable Judge Reynolds on June 30th. The need is great with almost 30 children currently waiting to be assigned a CASA. What a great group of committed individuals- we are thrilled you have worked hard to join CASA. Welcome aboard!

Please give us feedback and suggestions and send the newsletter on to your friends and family. “CASA” help us spread the word!
