Dear Mayor,
I am very proud to share with you that CASA is the proud recipient of the Governor's Points of Light award for the week of October 9th, 2006 during Hispanic Heritage month.
We could not have done it without your help and dedication to supporting the work that we do here at CASA for your constituents. We look forward to continuing our work and being a continued source of pride for our county at a local and state level.
Below please find some statistics of the strides we have made this year.
What Is The Governor's Points Of Light Program And Why Was It Established?
Established in February 2000, the Governor's Points of Light Award program recognizes those Florida residents and organizations that demonstrate exemplary volunteer service to their community. Recipients have ranged in age from 6 years to 101 years old and have included individuals, groups, nonprofit organizations, corporations and businesses. The common thread is their love of their community and their belief that through volunteering, they can make a positive impact. Their commitment is what Governor Bush wants to recognize through the Points of Light Award program.
