Social Meeting: The Inside Track

Be an Insider!

The goal of the new 4th Thursday social gathering is to offer members and their guests some "inside information" or a private story that only Odd Fellows and their guests have access to. Join us every month for The Inside Track. The doors open at 7 PM and the lodge provides dessert and coffee/tea.

This month's presentation: CASA

CASA, an acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a non profit, state-wide organization that trains and oversees a group of volunteers who assist dependents of the Juvenile Court in navigating the often painful and confusing Court system. The volunteers’ services include mentoring in areas of education and personal needs, as well as communication with the social workers, attorneys and Judges in the system.

The Lodge’s Youth Services Committee and the HMB-ODD Foundation jointly host this presentation by CASA representatives who will describe the organization’s activities, goals and needs, with a focus on the specific problems facing youth who are on the verge of losing needed support as a result of “aging out” out of the dependency system.
