CASA
Volunteers Needed to be Powerful Voices
for Abused Children in East Baton Rouge Parish
Capital Area CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Association is a non-profit organization that trains and supervises
community volunteers to be powerful voices for abused and neglected
children placed in the complex child protection system while they
wait for safe and permanent homes.
Each year, startling numbers of children enter foster care as
victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. They belong to no one as
they silently wait for a judge to decide their future. Many of these
children become victims a second time, lost in an overburdened child
welfare system that cannot pay close attention to each child whose
life is in its hands. Sometimes a child can remain adrift in foster
care for months, even years, with no one speaking on their behalf.
CASA volunteers work with all parties involved in a child’s case to
see that the child is placed in a permanent and safe home as quickly
as possible. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to speak up
for the child by recommending what they believe to be in their best
interest. Anyone age 21 and older can apply to become a volunteer.
Anyone interested in learning more about being a powerful voice for
a child should join
CASA at one of its 45-minute orientation sessions:
• Wednesday, March 3 at noon
• Monday, March 8 at 5:30 p.m.
• Friday, March 19 at noon
• Thursday, March 25 at 5:30 p.m.
• Saturday, March 27 at 10:00 a.m.
• Tuesday, March 30 at noon
Please call 225-379-8598 to RSVP or visit

information.

2010 Women's History Poetry Reading
The 12th Annual Women's History Poetry Reading will be held on March
14, 2010 at the Baton Rouge Gallery. The event was founded by Sue
Owen, then Poet-In-Residence at LSU. It is a part of the gallery's
"Sunday's @ 4" series and is held in March to commemorate National
Women's History Month. The National Women's History Project is
largely responsible for this federal designation and the Project is
celebrating it's 30th year.
A broad spectrum of Louisiana women will participate, from published
poets to first time readers. Each will present an original poem, no
more than 3 to 4 minutes in length, about women, history or both.
This year's coordinator, Les Ann Kirkland, "It's always a great
reading. What strikes me as most important is the sense of
inclusiveness, combined with the freedom to express yourself
differently - as an individual. Poetry is defined differently for
different people and they write for different reasons. At this event
these insights into other worlds are viewed with healthy curiosity,
gratitude and tolerance. It's definitely enjoyable."
So far, confirming for this year are April Armstrong, Marilyn Burel,
Desiree Dallagiocomo, Jamie Donley, Liz Ferguson, Pat Juelg, Holley
Haymaker, Ava Haymon, Sarah Johnson, Les Ann Kirkland, Suellen Lamb,
Becky Larkin, Angie Ledbetter, Brenda Moncriffe, Carolyn Ricapito,
Marilyn Shapley, Cynthia Toups and Tasha Weatherspoon.

have in Louisiana. You could paint a still life showing fruit or
vegetables, photograph a pile of crawfish, draw someone cooking a
pot of jambalaya, or just show someone eating an ice cream cone.

could carve, sculpt, use papier mache’, metal, fabric, gourds, or
any found objects to depict any foods you so desire. Just unleash
your creative juices! The whole idea for the “FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!”
Art Show is to bring together delicious ideas with art.
Each person is allowed up to three entries in any of the above
categories. There are no entry fees. All paintings, drawings and
photographs must be framed with wire on the back for hanging.

Friday, March 26 from 10am – 6pm. All art will be displayed on
Saturday morning at the Tanger Outlet Mall for judging and public
viewing. Art must be picked up at the Mall on Saturday, March 27 at
5pm. No exceptions.
The art show will be judged and prizes awarded for first , second,
and third place for each category in the form of a gift certificate
to the Tanger Outlet Mall along with a gift Basket from Harry &
David. Ribbons will also be presented. In addition, a special
People’s Choice Award as decided by the shoppers will also be
awarded.
This creative community celebration will include free painting
activities, face painting, and a food scavenger game for the
children. Cajun music will be provided by Gaynell Moore to spice up
the “FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!” event. There will be free Coke products,
free Harry & David food samplings, and Tanger Outlet giveaways.
