[APPLAUSE] >> JUDGE DAWSON, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. I'M IN MY NINTH YEAR AS AN ADVOCATE. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TODAY TO PROCLAIM THIS SPECIAL DAY FOR US.

COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES OF GRAYSON COUNTY IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO TRAINING AND EQUIPPING OUR COMMUNITY TO PROTECT CHILDREN, AND POWER FAMILIES, AND ADVOCATE FOR POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN INVOLVED IN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM. I'M PLEASED TO SHARE SOME

[00:05:02]

THREE WERE ADOPTED BY A RELATIVE AND 16 WERE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES. I'M ALSO VERY PROUD TO SHARE THAT WE ARE NOW SERVING EVERY GRAYSON COUNTY CHILD IN FOSTER CARE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD THIS GOAL FOR WHILE NOW AND WE FINALLY COMMITTED, SO IT'S VERY EXCITING. OF THE 87 CHILDREN CURRENTLY IN CARE, 27 RESIDE WITHIN THE COUNTY.

69% ARE PLACED OUTSIDE OF GRAYSON COUNTY, INCLUDING 29 CHILDREN IN DALLAS AND THE SOUTH DALLAS AREA AND OTHER PLACES AS FAR AS WEST TEXAS, HOUSTON, SAN ANTONIO, ARKANSAS, AND COLORADO. ADVOCATES FOLLOW THESE CHILDREN WHEREVER THEY GO. LOOKING AHEAD, WE HAVE TWO EXCITING EVENTS COMING UP. ON FRIDAY APRIL TENTH, WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CJ'S WITH A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS GOING DIRECTLY TO THE COMMISSION.

ON APRIL 15TH AND 16TH, THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE WILL INCLUDE TBR TRAINING ON THE 16TH FOR VOLUNTEERS AND PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH AT RISK YOUTH. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE A DEDICATED STAFF WHO MAKE THIS WORK POSSIBLE EVERY DAY.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAMILTON, BOTH OF THEM ARE IN DALLAS...

SUPERVISOR CASSIE SMITH, TRAINING SUPERVISOR MARLA SH SHAVER, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR, AND THE OFFICE MANAGER.

THEIR COMMITMENT TO THESE CHILDREN IS EXTRAORDINARY AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR EACH OF THEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE] I AND MY BROTHER... SO I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE COMMISSION FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THIS, AND GRAYSON COUNTY IS VERY STRONG. WE APPRECIATE THAT.

WITH THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE COUNTY WE CAN START EVEN MORE WITH FOSTER PARENTS. WE'VE GOT TO HAVE FOSTER PAR PARENTS. THOSE ARE OUR KIDS, AND WE NEED TO KEEP THEM HERE. OVER HER LIFETIME, 73 KIDS WERE FOSTERED. [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WE HAVE MORE FOSTER PARENTS FOR SURE. THEY ARE DOING A GREAT SERVICE.

WE HAVE 91 KIDS IN CARE. WE DO HAVE OUR CHILI COOKOFF COMING UP. THAT'S ESSENTIAL TO JUST HELP...

THEY CAN'T PROVIDE EVERYTHING, BUT.

[INAUDIBLE] >> ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> MY NAME IS COURTNEY MURPHY AND I'M A DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR AT THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER.

ON BEHALF OF THE GRAYSON COUNTY CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER, THANK YOU FOR PROCLAIMING CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION MONTH. PROCLAMATIONS LIKE THIS MATTER.

THEY REMIND US THAT PROTECTING CHILDREN IS SOMETHING WE DO ON PURPOSE. CHILD ABUSE IS NOT SOMETHING

[00:10:01]

THEY ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT MATTERS.

OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS... THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT CASES. THEY REQUIRE COORDINATION AND A RESPONSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY. THAT'S WHERE THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER COMES IN. WE PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION WHILE REDUCING... WE BRING OUR PARTNERS TOGETHER, LAW ENFORCEMENT ON CHILD PROTECTION AGENCIES, PROSECUTORS, MEDICAL PROVIDERS ON MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, SO THAT CASES MOVE FORWARD WITH CLARITY.

WE MAKE SURE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO BEGIN HEALING. THIS APPROACH WORKS.

CHILDREN ARE BETTER PROTECTED AND STRONGER.

BUT PREVENTION MATTERS JUST AS MUCH.

THROUGH EDUCATION, WE HELP CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THEIR SA SAFETY. PROTECTING CHILDREN IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ONE SYSTEM. IT'S ALL OF US.

AS WE RECOGNIZE THIS MONTH, WE ASK THAT PEOPLE STAY AWARE, STAY ENGAGED, AND TAKE ACTION WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS, OUR CHILDREN.

AND FOR THE CHILDREN STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO NOTICE, TO LISTEN, OR TO ACT, WHAT WE DO MATTERS MORE THAN WHAT WE SAY TODAY. THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR

CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. >> THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BRING AWARENESS TO THIS KIND OF PROBLEM THAT EXISTS. IT'S A SHAME THAT IT DOES.

BUT I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND WHAT YOU DO IT ALL THE GROUPS, WHETHER IT BE THE ADVOCACY CENTER OR SUPPORTING THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. I KNOW FIRSTHAND WHAT THE ADVOCACY CENTER PROVIDES, AND IT'S A GOOD PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE COUNTY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ADVOCACY, FORENSIC INTERVIEWS, THE SUPPORT THEY OFFER.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM FIVE,

A LOT OF TIMES THEIR EFFORTS GO IN SYNC BUT THEY ARE VERY VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR YOUTH. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THEY DO. THIS PAST SATURDAY, WE HAD OUR SPRING CLEANUP AT THE PRECINCT BARN.

WE HAD ABOUT 75 TIRES DROPPED OFF AT OUR BARN AND ABOUT 130 VEHICLES CAME THROUGH. SO ANOTHER GOOD SUCCESS WITH THAT. I HEARD WE DIDN'T GET ALL THE TIRES IN THE COUNTY. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME COMMENT ON THAT LATER. BUT WE DID GET 75 OF THEM.

OUR SAVIOR GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US TO BE FREE OF OUR SINS.

APPRECIATE THAT. >> COMMISSIONER WRIGHT?

THEY DON'T GO UNNOTICED. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR TAKING MY CALL AND BAILING ME OUT OF THE SITUATION WHEN THE ROAD IS CLOSED, THE ROAD IS CLOSED. SO GOING THROUGH THE DITCH OR HAVING A COUPLE OF 18-WHEELERS BACKED UP BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE CLOSED AND COULDN'T GET THROUGH. PLEASE, WE ARE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAINTAIN AND GET THE ROADS PERFECT SO THAT WE WILL LOVE THEM. BUT GOING THROUGH THE DITCH AND ATTEMPTING TO RUN OVER OUR CREW IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE. I WILL STEP OFF MY SOAPBOX.

I WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY EASTER.

>> SOMEBODY NEEDS TO ANSWER THE PHONE, APPARENTLY.

COMMISSIONER ARTHUR? >> I'LL PICK IT UP ON THE TIRE SITUATION. WE BROKE A ONE-DAY RECORD YESTERDAY, PICKED UP 245. WE'VE GOT 104 IN THE CREEK THAT WE WILL HAVE TO GET OUT. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THANK YOU. >> PLEASE BE WEATHER AWARE.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FEW STORMS THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

I THINK TOMORROW NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

SO JUST PAY ATTENTION, HAVE A HAPPY EASTER.

AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE FOSTER PARENTS, VOLUNTEERS, THE ADVOCACY CENTER INDIVIDUALS, APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO THAT. IT'S VERY NOTICED.

THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. >> ALL RIGHT.

SPEAKING OF THE WEATHER, APRIL SECOND, THURSDAY, IS SUPPOSED TO BE A STATEWIDE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION ALERT.

I THINK EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY IS PLANNING TO PARTICIPATE EXCEPT FOR SHERMAN. I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT IS.

BUT IF WE DO HAVE SEVERE WEATHER THAT DAY, WE WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE PEOPLE.

BUT JUST KNOW THAT IF YOU GET ALERTS ON THURSDAY AND THE WEATHER IS NICE, IT IS JUST A STATEWIDE TEST.

ALSO DON'T FORGET THE DAY OF THE CHILI COOKOFF AT 903 BREWERS, APRIL 11TH AND 12TH AT 3:30. JUST GO OUT AND SUPPORT THAT.

ALSO THANK YOU TO THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER AND ALL THE EFFORTS THAT ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS MAKE TO TRY AND PREVENT CHALLENGES. WITH THAT, EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY EASTER AND REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.

>> ONE LAST COMMENT. WITH THE TRASH PICKUP, A LOT OF QUESTIONS ARE, CAN I BRING PAINT OR OILS.
