The need for court appointed special advocates in the Felicianas was the focus of the message given by the Child Advocacy Services speaker July 27 at the United Methodist Women’sAnnual Mission Luncheon held July 27.
The fundraising and fellowship luncheon was hosted by the United MethodistWomen at the Jackson United Methodist Church in the social hall. Members from other Jackson, Norwood andSt. Francisville churches werepresent,or participated by purchasing tickets.
The guest speaker was CASA recruiter Donna Bliss from the Hammond Regional Office of Child Advocacy Services. Bliss explained that a court appointed special advocate, or CASA, is a specially-trained and supervisedvolunteerwho is appointed by ajudge to serve in the community.They are sworn in and assigned to achild who has experienced abuse or neglect. Avolunteer is to look out for the “best interest of the child,” she stated.
The volunteerwillvisit the child“once a month in their foster care placement,” she said, and establish aone-on-onerelationship. Volunteers are to monitorthe child, make recommendations, and will accompany the child to court as they go through the judicial system, she added.
The goal of the program is to give “continuous support in atime of crisis,” Bliss said.
Although volunteers typically sign up for a one-year commitment, some serve until the caseissettled, as thatmay takelonger,orsome as long as several years, she said. Sometimes more than one child is served by aCASA volunteer
The end goal is to see that the child is in a safe, permanent and loving home. Also attending the meeting was Veronica London, of St. Francisville, who is the CASA supervisor for the Felicianas. The money donated will stay in the Felicianas, where there are about 30 children in the system. There will “always be aneed for volunteers,” Bliss said. Funds were also raised at the gathering through asilent auction and by donations by individuals at the event. The luncheon’stheme was “Law and Justice” and each table was decorated differently —from referring to scripture and the TenCommandments to the more lighthearted or even humorous decorations. TheRev.Chris Curry,ofJackson United Methodist Church, was aspecial guest and blessedthe food. UMW President Rhonda Tomb gave the welcome and initiated introductions of the ladies’ at the tables. The guest speaker was introduced by Michelle Duncan, public defender for East Feliciana, and the silent auction was concluded by UMW Treasurer Susan Vidrine. Formoreinformation,contact theChild Advocacy Services website at wwwchildadv.net or (800) 798-1575 or Bliss at (985) 415-2169.
