SEPTEMBER CASA COMPASS
We are excited to have Pam Jacobsen from East Texas Human Needs Network (ETHNN) share with us on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. She will speak about “Understanding Poverty in East Texas”. This will give us information that will help us as we advocate for our CASA children. This will be held through Zoom so watch for the link. All active advocates, staff, and board members are welcome to join us. (Continuing education hours will be credited for participants in Optima.) Contact kclark@casaforkidsofet.org with any questions.
