Submitted by Gretchen M. Boger-O’Bryan

  It is CASA of Union County’s goal that every Union County foster child have an advocate, yet half of the more than 500 such youth still await one. Could you be their voice? The next training begins July 11 and two additional trainings are slated for the fall. For details, contact Courtney at 908-293-8136 or cgreen@casaofunioncounty.org, or log on to www.casaofunioncounty.org.
