Date: 07/07/08
Time: 9 am-12 pm
Location: United Way building located at 428 Bull Street in the 2nd floor conference room
Details: Every child should have a safe, loving, and permanent home, but many do not.

These children need your voice in court to speak up for their best interests and help ensure that they are placed in safe and permanent homes. There is also a need for bilingual volunteers to advocate for the increasing number of deprivation cases involving non-English speaking children and families. The New Volunteer Training will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 8th – July 31st from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at the United Way building located at 428 Bull Street in the 2nd floor conference room. For more information or to register, please call the CASA office at 447-8908 or email info@savannahcasa.org. We can make a difference one child at a time!
