Itwas a wonderful opportunity to share inspiring stories about the achievements of all ourvolunteers and to pay special thanks to the winners of the Outstanding Service and TeenChampion awards.Right now there are over 400,000 children in the foster care system. More than ever,public funding for services for these children is falling far short of meeting their needs.Vulnerable children who cannot speak for themselves can easily fall through the cracksand languish in the system with little hope of having even their basic needs met, letalone finding a safe and permanent home.Thanks to <strong>CASA</strong> volunteers, these children will not be forgotten. They will have thepriceless gift of someone to speak for them, which can make the difference betweena life of broken dreams and a life that is lived to its full potential. But in these difficulteconomic times, it is also important to recognize <strong>CASA</strong>’s significant role in achievingthe best outcome for children as efficiently and economically possible: a single dollarinvested in a <strong>CASA</strong> program can yield more than 20 times that amount in savings in thechild welfare system.As you may have heard, the National <strong>CASA</strong> Association will lose $12 million in federalfunding when the new fiscal year begins on October 1. This funding cut represents atiny percentage of the federal budget, but the potential impact on the children we servecould be devastating.Now more than ever, <strong>CASA</strong> needs your support. National <strong>CASA</strong> is a majorsource of funding for local <strong>CASA</strong> programs, and the cuts in federal support will have asubstantial impact on funding for local programs. Dollars for program expansion andnew initiatives will be sorely compromised. Please take a moment and use the envelopeincluded with this newsletter to make a gift to <strong>CASA</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Your generosity canmake all the difference in the life of a child.Sincerely,Terri Zenner GreenbergExecutive Director<strong>CASA</strong> ® and COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE ® are registered trademarks of National <strong>CASA</strong> Association.

The training module will providethree hours of instruction and continuing education credits.<strong>CASA</strong> Executive Director Terri Greenberg said, “This isa natural partnership.” She cited the study The EssentialAdvocate: Using <strong>CASA</strong>s to Promote Child Well-Beingconducted by Sheryl Dicker and Elysa Gordon andpublished by the National Council of Juvenile and FamilyCourt Judges: “Children in foster care are far more likelythan all other children to have serious medical problems,developmental delays and emotional difficulties. Nearly 80percent are prenatally exposed to substance abuse and 40percent are born premature and/or with low birth weight.”Dan Brennan, Lundbeck Vice President, and former <strong>CASA</strong>advocate, agreed. He said that Lundbeck is committedto making a difference for people with psychiatric andneurological disorders and that supporting this educationprogram is an essential part of the company’s mission,since many abused and neglected children suffer from theseproblems. He also noted that once this initial training courseis fully developed and refined, it could go nationwide andbeyond to help abused children.(From left) <strong>CASA</strong> Advocate Managers Mary Neu-Stoppelman andHope May, <strong>CASA</strong> Program Director Wendy LaPlaca and WE Careorganizers Heidi Sparacino, Wendy Apple and Erin Kerpel.Thanks to all of the families and the community of WaldenElementary School for providing over 600 needed itemsfor our <strong>CASA</strong> Children in December.Approximately 90 percent of thechildren for whom <strong>CASA</strong> volunteersadvocate are affected by psychiatricand neurological disorders.<strong>CASA</strong> LAKE COUNTY 3
