CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, is looking for volunteers in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman counties. CASA director Susan Erickson says they have a number of foster children who need someone to stand up for them in court proceedings. “CASA 101” talks are scheduled for this coming Tuesday at 5:15 p.m. at Planetree Health Resource Center in The Dalles, and May 15 at 5:15 p.m. at the Sherman County Extension Office in Moro. Volunteer training is to begin later this month. Go to gorgecasa.org for more information.
