Good Afternoon, 

I would like to share some wonderful news with you.  At the most recent Hands Across the Valley Awards Luncheon, sponsored by HandsOn-Central California, several CASA volunteers were recognized for their work in our community.

HandsOn (formerly The Volunteer Center) is a local organization that encourages volunteerism and each year they sponsor this luncheon to recognize volunteers from Central California. This year over forty individuals and organizations were nominated for awards. 

I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the award winners as follows:

o     Advocates Christiana Sweeney and Brenda Watson-Hill were nominated for “Volunteer of the Year.”

o     Advocate Joan Litch, SHF  was awarded “Outstanding Senior of the Year.”

o     Board Member Dr. Dan Griffin was awarded the “Humanitarian” award.

Congratulations to each of you, we celebrate your dedicated advocacy for children in the foster care system.

Sincerely,

Nathan Lee, Executive Director
