Today, we #Rotary began our meeting with the induction of Dr. Toni Pendergrass into our club. She transferred her membership to Rotary Club of San Juan County.
Next, we heard from Marianna Kleiner-Childers, Childhaven Foundation Development Associate, and Kaobah Gorman, CASA Director, both from Childhaven. They spoke about several Childhaven programs which include CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates ), and therapeutic foster care. One of the biggest needs locally is for foster homes. There are currently only 25 foster homes in San Juan County. Childhaven had 200 requests for foster placement last year.
As a bonus, Rotarians donated suitcases and bags to Childhaven for foster children.
