June 2019: News, Events, and Opportunities for CASA Volunteers 
 

Letter from CASA Executive Director Angela Rose 
 
 
Dear CASA Volunteers:
 
I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying your summer. 
 
With school being out of session, it's a good time of year to remind people that we will see a decline in reports of child abuse because teachers and other mandatory reporters are not seeing the children each day. This makes our work safeguarding children even more important. Feel free to pass this link on to family and friends. It talks about the importance of calling the hotline even if you aren't sure abuse is occurring.   
 
June has been busy at CASA. In addition to attending the National CASA Conference, we benefited from the inaugural LO2 Music Fest, hosted more than 900 people at the 43rd Annual North Pole Foster Children's Festival, and swore in four new advocates at the courthouse. Click here to meet those advocates now!  
 
 We also hosted a 30th anniversary donor appreciation event this month. Our 30th anniversary volunteer appreciation event is in August. You can find more details about it below. We hope to see you there!
 
Thank you for all that you do and as always, never hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns!
 
Sincerely,
Angela
