This Week's Meeting
This week's program includes a presentation by Loreilee Gomez, a Marketing Specialist with Snohomish County CASA. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. A CASA is someone who advocates for children in the court system--most often for foster children. There is a huge need in Snohomish County for trained CASA volunteers.
 
Planning is well underway for our annual Corks & Kegs Fundraiser. Like Aquafest, this is a "All Hands on Deck" event and everyone will be needed to help us this year. MOre information will be provided at Friday's Meeting.
 
The link to our YouTube Channel is now available on our website and our weekly bulletins. You can view recent online meetings. If you watch any of them, you can count it as a makeup. Just let our Secretary, Gary O'Rielly know.
Set Free Movement
Our guest speaker on Friday, August 4th was Kevin Austin, Founder and Director of the Set Free Movement based in Marysville, an organization dedicated to a vision to see that the vulnerable are protected from human trafficking by setting them free.
 
In 2004, there were twenty-seven million victims of human trafficking and now that number has climbed to around fifty million and a $150 billion business.
Washington State is in the top 15 states in the supply chain for human trafficking. There are 500-700 sexually exploited youth in Seattle. Every year, the organizations identify 40-45 juveniles involved in the trafficking trade here in Snohomish County according to Newman Skomski. Easy to transport victims up and down the 1-5 corridor between Vancouver, BC and Portland, OR. 
 
Their vision is to see the vulnerable protected, captives set free and oppressed experiencing hope and healing as neighborhoods are transformed.
