“Monty is the type of person CASA volunteers strive to emulate and CASA staff wish we could duplicate. Since his first case assignment, Monty has approached his CASA volunteer work head-on, with equal parts compassion and determination, to enhance and improve the lives of the children he serves. He is dependable, focused, patient, intentional, and organized.” -Ada Hernandez-Bell
