WANTED Advocates for Abused and Neglected Children

neglect. A CASA volunteer serves as the eyes and ears of court, and
could very well be the only consistent person in a child's life during
the court process. Please help us in our mission to provide an
advocate for every abused child in our community. Training will begin
Wednesday, January 31, 2007 from 1:30-5:30pm. It will continue every
