3rd Quarter Community Outreach CASA Charity Golf Event

North Eastern Group Realty is pleased to be participating in the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Charity Golf Event, September 11, 2010. Lori Stinson of North Eastern Group Realty is the Golf Education Chair of the Executive Women’s Golf Association, and CASA Board Member.

CASA volunteers assist the more than 1,000 children who at any given time are under the jurisdiction of the Allen County Superior Court due to parental neglect or abuse. The CASA volunteer becomes the eyes and ears of the judge, becoming deeply involved in the child’s life to make recommendations on how to best help the child – whether it be to provide services for the parents, assess behavioral problems of the child, to place the child with relatives, or if necessary, to terminate parental rights. The CASA volunteer will also accompany his or her child through the legal system, appearing at all court hearings and participating in other meetings such as school conferences or mental health assessments. Typically, the CASA volunteer will accompany the child for the duration of the legal process, usually from 24 to 36 months.

North Eastern Group Realty is proud to partner with Lori and CASA to raise important funds to continue providing the best possible advocacy for abused and neglected children in Allen County.
