Junction City Association of Retired School Personnel (JCARSP) met at the Zion United Church of Christ on October 10.  Crystal Quinn, Court Appointed Special Advocates Director told members that "volunteers are needed to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Volunteers work with child welfare professionals, educators and service providers to ensure judges have the information needed to make the most well-informed decisions for each child."

Forty-six students from Spring Valley Elementary's National Honor Society and Student Council provided materials and guidance for each of the JCARSP members present to make "Thanksgiving Turkey Hanging Bells".  The bells will be distributed by the students to residents in area nursing homes
