As Guardian ad Litem volunteers, my wife and I appreciate the front page article on the GAL program that brought in 90 new volunteers.

The paid staff in our Bradenton office are top notch and this will help them manage their exploding caseloads. Thanks are due to the new and seasoned volunteers as well.

This program deserves all the support it can get in the state budget.
