Courtroom Advocacy Training for Volunteers

Georgia CASA will be presenting the first Courtroom Advocacy Training for
Volunteers on August 17th in Tifton. There will be a hot, dinner buffet
prior to the training (beginning at 5:00) for everyone attending. The
Tifton-Tift County Tourism Association is helping to offset the cost of
dinner, so that we can provide more than light refreshments. I am asking
that you RSVP me by August 10th.

The training will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Tifton, off I-75.
Directions are included at the bottom of this email. I look forward to
hearing from you.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks for all you do!!!
