Editor,
A deep sense of gratitude is due to everyone who recently participated in the sixth annual CASA Golf Tournament.
Participation was outstanding as usual and without the golfing support of area law enforcement, probation, banks and teachers, this event just couldn’t survive and continue to provide vital funding to such an important program.
A special thanks also to those businesses and individuals who dug deep in their pocketbooks to support the event by purchasing hole sponsorships.
Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children of Lake County provides volunteers who are assigned by District Court to investigate the status of abused, neglected or displaced children and make a recommendation about their eventual placement to guarantee a safe environment.
The need for such advocacy continues to grow and provides an independent voice for the affected children.
The event raised some $12,000, which is vitally needed each year to sustain the nonprofit program that has but a single part-time paid employee.
Media also play a large role in promoting the event, and the CASA gold committee and volunteers did an admirable job organizing the day.
Our thanks as well to Polson Bay Golf Course, not just for their tireless work on the day of the event and guaranteeing excellent weather, but how the continued excellent condition of one of the best courses in Northwest Montana is maintained.
