CASA SH a W R u n s for Kids Everyone knows that the economy has been rough on everyone, but one particularly hard-hit sector has been non-profits. Court Appointed Special Advocates of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties (CASA SHaW) is hosting its third annual "Be a Superhero for Kids" 5k run and 1-mile walk at Meadow Breeze Park in Washington (Warren County) on October 26. The race is sanctioned by the USA Track and Field Association. Runners and their families are encouraged to dress in costumes, minus masks or long capes for safety reasons, to show their support for children in crisis by being a superhero for them. There will be a prize for the top male and female costumes. Those who wish to support this event may register at website, www.casashaw.org. Registration is $20 until October 18 and $25 through race day. Sponsorship opportunities also exist. For more information, contact Tracey at tracey@casashaw.org. CASA SHaW is part of a Statewide network of community-based, non-profit programs that recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to "Speak Up for a Child" removed from home due to abuse or neglect. CASA is the only program in New Jersey that uses trained volunteers to work one-onone with children, ensuring that each one gets the services needed and achieves permanency in a safe, nurturing home.

Thank You! Does Your Dog Need More Exercise? D o e s Y o u r R ov e r L i k e to R u n ? Rover Runs, LLC, Hunterdon County's first dog jogging and hiking service, is now open for business. Just as with people, regular exercise benefits a dog's physical health, provides mental stimulation, can help relieve anxiety and also has been shown to extend life expectancy. Many dogs need more exercise than their families – or traditional dog-walking companies – can provide. Jogging, and excursions to the trails in local parks, provides that something extra, and dogs love it. If your Rover could use more exercise, contact Rover Runs today for more information, including a free consultation, and information about additional services including pet sitting. Rover Runs is insured, experienced and locally owned. Please visit RoverRuns.com, call 908.236.2983 or email roverruns@gmail.com. 2 0 1 3 21
