Abigails February Meeting - Site Visits and Lunch

Based on the expressed interest of Abigails members, we are offering site visits to Brightside Child & Family Advocacy Home of Savannah CASA and Park Place Outreach for our February program. We welcome vaccinated members to participate. You may register for one or both of the sites with or without lunch between the visits. Masks must be worn when inside.

After 30 years of providing exceptional advocacy and services, Savannah CASA is expanding to meet the needs of foster care children. Kate Blair, CASA's Executive Director, tells us that 360 children entered foster care last year in Chatham County.  She has graciously invited the Skidaway Abigails to visit Casa's recently expanded facility, Brightside Child & Family Advocacy Home of Savannah CASA. This supervised visitation and family support center opened in January of this year. We will hear a staff  presentation about the new center and speak with CASA volunteers about their work with foster care children.  We will meet at The Bright House: (761 Wheaton St, Savannah on the 5th Floor) at 9:50 AM for a presentation from 10 AM - 11:00 AM.  

Following the presentation, you can join the group for lunch at The Vault and then travel to our second site visit at:

Park Place Outreach (514 E. Henry St, Savannah) where we will meet Julie Wade’s successor, Executive Director Desmond Crayton at 1:30-2:30 PM. Desmond Crayton explains the mission of Park Place Outreach, “I believe for families to function in a healthy way our communities must support them with love and empower them by teaching them the necessary skills to be successful.”  We are excited to hear his ideas for meeting the ever-changing needs of at-risk teens who experience trauma and homelessness in our community. Aren’t you? Please join us!
