a Fall Volunteer Advocate Information Session CASA Prince George's, hosted
by Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)/ Prince George's County, 6811
Kenilworth Ave., # 402, Riverdale 20737. Visit www.pgcasa.org or call 301-209-0491.
CASA is a volunteer-based organization that partners with the
juvenile court to improve the lives of abused and neglected children living in
foster care. CASA, Prince George's County trains and supervises volunteers from
the community who advocate for the best interest of children, recognizing and
respecting each child's individual needs. Our volunteers are both advocates,
with the right to speak for the child’s best interest in court, and mentors,
who guide their CASA youth through the system and problems they may be facing.
CASA volunteers serve as investigators, mentors, recorders, and
ultimately advocates. CASA volunteers visit their youth at least 2 times per
month, and their case supervisors once every 6 to 8 weeks. CASA volunteers
advocate for specific needs of their individual youth including the need for
safety and permanency within the Child Welfare system. You will be offered 4
weeks of training to become an advocate. You could help create and ensure
better outcomes for a youth in need by being a part of his or her team. Check

25] – Join the Get Money Out of Maryland
Teleconference on Mon., Aug. 19 from 8:30 to 9:30 PM. Call 605-475-6711,
code 1136243#. Work only on brainstorming ideas for participation in the
upcoming General Election.
26] – From 7:30 AM to 8 PM,

Your Cat to the Vet Day, go to the Essex Middle River Veterinary Center, 1609
Eastern Blvd., Essex 21221. We all know some cats don’t like to travel
and are hard to get into a carrier. Because of this, many owners only take
their cats to see a vet when they are sick. Like dogs, our feline fur kids
should have yearly exams. Many ailments that affect our feline friends can
easily be treated with early detection.
Thursday August 22nd is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day. For
any client who has a cat that is overdue on vaccines and schedules a vaccine
appointment on 8/22/19, get a 25% discount on the vaccines (a value of up to

– On
Tues., Aug. 20 from 6 to 9 PM, Real Talk Tho: Is
There a More Equitable Way to Fund Development? This is hosted
by The Real News Network and Ida B's Table, 231 Holliday St.,
Baltimore 21202. Real Talk Tho is an opportunity for people to discuss
and debate real solutions to our city's intractable problems. What would
effective policy look like and how do we get it implemented? Search for
solutions, develop the editorial work of The Real News and eat some great
modern soul food.
Encouraging development without big tax breaks to
developers is possible in Baltimore. While Baltimore has used hefty tax
subsidies for wealthy developers to fund development in the past, there are
more equitable approaches to stimulating growth that do not exacerbate the
inequities that plague our city and could repair decades of racial segregation
and discrimination: community land trusts.
To understand how community land trusts promote equitable
development, help communities grow inclusively, and play a role in reparations,
restitution and achieving racial justice, hear from a panel of guests who are
successfully using the idea to transform the city. Real Talk Tho
takes place every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at Ida B's Table. See https://www.facebook.com/events/366312210708672/.

Ave., Baltimore 21218-5549. Amelia Brown, 48, died accidentally on August 6th

personality will be remembered by many. She had great love for her children,
sister, and family -- every goal focused on being with them as she reclaimed
her life. Amelia joins her mother and her fiancé who she missed and died before
her. As a Power Insider, Amelia first got involved as a volunteer in 2006. She
contributed to police accountability work, supported the growth of an outreach
program, and filled the space with her brilliance, creativity, intensity, and
humor.
At 8:25 PM (twilight's end), meet outside to light
candles to send love and light into the night for Amelia, all those lost to the
streets, and those grieving in darkness. Enter the church hall from Sherwood behind
the church (where there is a maroon awning with "2312 Harford
Rd.") See https://www.facebook.com/events/2305668103077109/?notif_t=event_calendar_create¬if_id=1566146637295648.
