Special shout out to Jean and her husband, Scott, who represented Family & Youth Services Bureau at the recent Porter County Health Department's Summer Health Fair! Jean wears many hats at FYSB, and one of them is the CASA Administrative Assistant. She does so much behind the scenes work that helps us to advocate for kids in need. We couldn't do our work without her! ❤️
