It was nothing short of an epiphany.
One day last summer, Barb Childs looked out the window at a trio of boys playing in her yard on New Dam Road in North Waterboro.

They Gave To Him, Now He Passes it Along Bill Cline, a retired firefighter, decided to continue his community service as a CASA volunteer.
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are volunteers who advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The Clark County CASA Program has 130 volunteers taking on this demanding and rewarding role and Bill Cline is one of those amazing volunteers.
As a boy, Bill Cline enjoyed many youth activities where adult volunteers played important roles. “I got to do a bunch of stuff, like Little League and Cub Scouts, because of the adults who volunteered their time,” he said. Later, when as an adult he became a firefighter with Clark County, the value of community service was reinforced for Cline.
