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:
• Tuesday, February 2 at noon
• Thursday, February 11 at 6:00 p.m.
• Saturday, February 20 at 9:00 a.m.
• Monday, February 22 at 5:30 p.m.
• 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
www.casabr.org for more
information.
5th Annual Eagle Expo
www.cajuncoast.com
The fifth Annual Eagle Expo, scheduled February 25-27, 2010, in
Morgan City, Louisiana, will feature boat tours to view eagles,
seminars from wildlife and nature experts, and opportunities to meet
fellow birders.
Moving into its fifth successful year, the Eagle Expo is a tribute
to the return of the American Bald Eagle to Louisiana, which was
recently removed from the endangered species list in June 2007. Laws
banning the use of harmful pesticides such as DDT and greater public
awareness and education have increased the bald eagle population
throughout Louisiana and the United States. Currently, there are 284
active nests in Louisiana with a large concentration in the St. Mary
and Terrebonne Parish areas.
Highlighting this year’s expo will be a workshop taught by renowned
wildlife photographer CC Lockwood on Thursday, February 25th. CC
Lockwood is known for his numerous publications and books,
especially his eleventh book, Marsh Mission, which brought attention
to the crisis of the vanishing Gulf Coast wetlands. His photography
has been featured in prominent publications such as the Smithsonian
Magazine and National Geographic Magazine.
The workshop includes a two-hour lecture on Digital Bird Photography
at the Atchafalaya Golf Course in Patterson beginning at 2 p.m. and
a boat trip to Bayou Black the following morning. The boat trip to
Bayou Black will focus on birding and marsh landscapes. The workshop
requires separate registration and payment. The cost of the workshop
is $195.00. Contact CC Lockwood at
www.cclockwood.com or
atchbasin@aol.com . Space is
limited.
A welcome reception, sponsored by the Black Bear Conservation
Coalition, will be held at the Louisiana State Museum in Patterson,
Thursday, February 25th, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Tours to view eagles will take place Friday, Feb. 26th and Saturday,
Feb. 27th. Featured waterways include the Atchafalaya Basin, Lake
Verret, Turtle Bayou and Bayou Black. Tours will be at 9 a.m. – 11
a.m. and 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. on Friday and 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Each featured boat tour offers something different to attendees.
