CASA PARTNERS
Court Appointed Special Advocates
A direct correlation to our major concern as a club.
The prevention of child abuse and neglect.
    Attention Exchange Club Members:  Here's your need to know.
CASA Partners is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children living in
foster care.   "Not all children are able to enjoy the innocence of  childhood."
    Tragically, there are children who have had their innocence destroyed through abuse and neglect. 
There are nearly 1,000 of  these children in foster care right here in our home county.  CASA
supports court appointed advocates for mistreated children in situations where a guardian
ad litem is appointed.   Come learn the details.  Bring a guest.
