July Happenings

BROWN BAG, TUESDAY July 19th, 2011
The Amazing Pat Coronado will be speaking to us about Report Writing

Come and learn some techniques and simple ways to write your court reports.

**REMINDER**

For those of you who have not yet started on your 12 hours of annual inservice training, Brown Bags are an easy ways to do that. You can also read a book or watch a video. Let me know if you need a list of accepted inservice hour media.

If you know anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer. I will be starting a training Tuesday evening July 26th. Have them call the CASA office. There is a major need for many dedicated volunteers.
