The Advocate November 2013

Save the Date!

November 16, 2013
11:00~1:00 CST
Harmony House CASA
1005 Michigan Ave, LaPorte

We will be having officers from the La Porte County Police Dept and the City of La Porte Police Dept. here to meet, greet, and talk with the kids.

Many of the children involved in the system are afraid of police officers. We hope to teach the children that the Police are here to help! Bring your CASA children, foster children or any chil-dren, to our open house where they can learn about the good things the police do to help and protect us!
