On Oct. 17, six new Court Appointed Special Advocates were sworn in at the Wood County Juvenile Court.
Natalie Reichert, Shanna Gerken, Patricia Smith, Kristina Eynon, Ryan Wright, and Lisa Riddle were given the oath of office by Wood County Juvenile Court Judge Dave Woessner. The new CASAs come from across Wood County.
“Our Wood County CASA program continues to bring in outstanding volunteers to advocate for children in need,” Woessner said. “I am happy that our new CASAs are willing to step up and help children and families. I encourage all who wish to participate in a truly rewarding program to consider joining our Wood County CASA program.”
