Ulrike Nordby, a volunteer recruiter with the Florida Guardian Ad Litem Office, spoke to our members recently about its efforts to represent foster children throughout the area. Ulrike and other guardians represent more than 35,000 neglected and abused children under the jurisdiction of Florida's juvenile dependency courts every year. These guardians serve as a constant, caring advocate in these children's lives. They do wonderful work and we're thankful for the positive impacts they have on these vulnerable children.

Her passion for enriching lives and providing practical resources in our Naples community was truly moving and left everyone with a deeper understanding of how we can all make a difference.

A big thank you to Karen for taking the time to join us and for the important work the Alzheimer's Support Network does right here in Collier County!
