FYI
Connie Rickets, Essex County CASA program Director and Allyson Boyington, CASA Advocate Supervisor came to the Supervisor's meeting today and presented their program. They have had CASA in the Lawrence and Newburyport courts for 22 years and are now expanding to Salem and then Lynn so all of Essex County is covered.
Right now there are only 2 families assigned with another 6 advocates in training. Please let foster parents know that this program is coming, as advocates will want to meet with the children at least once per month. My understanding is that this program can be a "mixed bag" depending on the volunteer. If a family is assigned we will inform that foster parent. If there are concerns we can contact the two names above to address. The hope is that they will add a valuable service to families we work with.
Attached is a flyer for a fundraiser they are having at the North Shore Mall the week of April vacation. Three playhouses are being built by local contractors/groups including the Lynn Tech that will be raffled off. Since it is school vacation, other events are also ongoing at the mall. Carla, can you please forward this flyer to foster parents on your e-mail distribution list? Thanks.
