Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers show off the St. Louis Cardinals backpacks and duffel bags they received from an Ameren UE Corporation grant. The bags were distributed by the volunteers to the children they serve in Phelps, Texas, Maries and Pulaski counties as a Valentine’s Day surprise. For more information about the CASA program, contact the CASA office at 573-458-6240, email casaphel@fidnet.com or check the website at www.casascmo.org.
