Heather Grove (Beatrice), (right) a Practical Nursing student, conducted a hat and glove drive for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). Her efforts resulted in a collection of 182 items for this program, including over 90 pairs of gloves. The Gage county program currently serves over 40 children. Heather is pictured with Amber Lovitt (left), Program Director for Gage County.  CASA volunteers are judge-appointed advocates who speak in court for the best interest of abused and neglected children, for whom they provide comfort and support.
