NHCASA Welcomes New Volunteers

The Fall New Volunteer Training prepared seven new

volunteers to take the oath to serve abused and neglected

children in the Northern Hills. Judge Michelle Comer swore in

the new volunteers following the training. Volunteers were

trained by CASA staff and guest speakers. The next training

will be held in April.

NHCASA Loses a Great Friend

NHCASA board member Chuck Turbiville

passed away October 20, 2018. Chuck

served on the NHCASA board from 2010

until his death. Though he was a very

busy man, serving as mayor for the City

of Deadwood and as state representative

for Lawrence County, he still made time to

attend board meetings and CASA events.

Chuck’s favorite activity was helping out

at the Days of ‘76 Rodeo, where NHCASA

worked the VIP bar for tips. Chuck’s

generous nature (and drink servings!)

helped NHCASA earn hundreds in tips

each year.

NHCASA board and staff will miss Chuck’s

stories, laugh and generous nature.

Volunteer Spotlight Page

For an abused or neglected child, a CASA volunteer is

someone who listens. Someone who reaches out to

teachers, social workers, parents, counselors,

caregivers, and anyone else who can meet the child’s

needs. Someone whose sole mission is to help clear a

path out of the complex, over-burdened child welfare

system and into a safe, permanent home.

35 CASAs has served 86 children from 54 families through advocacy efforts so far this year.

National CASA Conference June 1-4

Volunteers have the opportunity to apply to attend the annual conference to be

held in Atlanta, GA with all expenses paid. Applications must be completed online

by February 1. The National CASA Conference features keynote speakers and

breakout sessions with training in regard to child protection, CASA advocacy work,

and best practices. APPLY TODAY!

Making Christmas Memories December 3

Volunteers are invited to attend Making Christmas Memories at the Spearfish High

School from 5-7 pm. Volunteers can bring their CASA kids to make crafts or

volunteer to help at the NHCASA booth.
