Family &
Children's Service
For
the past two years, 2004 and 2005, the Bal d'Hiver has
organized “Backpackin’ Back” service projects with
Family and Children’s Service. Both years, the Bal
d’Hiver court worked together to organize over 20
backpacks stuffed with goodies for Third graders who are
part of the Relative Caregiver Program. Children in this
program are all being raised by extended family members
such as aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

Lifework Productions this chapter supports, contact

additional volunteers. In June 2004, CASA moved into
their new (and larger) home, the CASA House on Woodland
Street. If anyone is interested in being a CASA
