Their spirit of altruism is manifest in the giving of time, contributions and loaned executive expertise. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SandRidge Energy employee &amp;nbsp;volunteers and our own CASA volunteers make up most of the rest of the corps of men and women who will make Playhouse Parade happen by staffing the raffle ticket table and sharing the CASAofOKCo story with the shoppers who drop in to peruse the Playhouses and Scooter. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Web traffic has provided us volunteers who may be making their first foray into the world of CASAofOKCo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please continue to spread the word about this unique organization. &amp;nbsp;Volunteers enable us to exist. &amp;nbsp;We recruit, train and supervise adults from the community to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children. &amp;nbsp;Sworn in by a Juvenile Justice, our volunteers provide an unbiased voice for the children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have more volunteers than we have case managers to supervise them. &amp;nbsp;It's always the case in this city of good. &amp;nbsp;We seek your time and talent and you give it willingly. As Oklahoma County leads the state in these sad cases, our objective is that as many children as possible have a CASA advocate, we must always have CASA volunteers ready for the next child in need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, it seems trite in the wake of your amazing contributions. &amp;nbsp;Nevertheless, thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
