A fter two m onths o f plan
ning and coordinating, the O itz

Volunteers, residents and sur
rounding neighbors came out
for a day in the sun to embark,
as one, on the journey. Purpose

n ear 40 v o lunteers k ep t the
group w orking in 90-degree-

C utting, pulling, m ow ing,

such a beautiful spring day.
T h e w o rk w as n o t o n ly
needed, b ut very much appreci

Project coordinator Jefferson
G reene received many inquiries
about the work completed on
May 30.
G reene com m ented, “This
certainly could n ot have been
done w ithout the comm itment
o f local community members,
businesses and organizations
that stepped forward to help get
the job done.”
Last year in O ctober, Beauti
fication 1 took place in the West
Hills neighborhood in W arm
Springs, bringing in nearly 100
volunteers for two days. They
worked on the littered, unsafe
and un-m aintained sidewalks
ju s t days b e fo re H allow een
evening.
This time, it only took one
day.

Monica Frank
Hello, my name is Monica
Frank. I w ork at Childrens
P rotective Services (CPS)
here in W arm Springs as a
CPS Assistant. I started in
May 2005 as a protective care
provider in the CPS Center,
and eventually transitioned
to the administration side as
th e CPS r e c e p tio n is t in
March 2006.
I worked as the reception
ist until approximately Sep
tem ber 2006, at which time
I decided to take time o ff for
my new baby and family. I
was recently offered employ
m ent as the assistant in April
2008.
My job consists o f work
ing closely with the children
in CPS custody. I assist with
transports to doctor appoint
m ents, treatm ent facihties,
supervise visits, complete cE-
ent clothing/grocery shop
ping, and I do in-hom e ser
vices with famiEes that are on
m onitor status. This means
I provide inform ation to the
p arents in th eir hom e on
parenting. T he services I
provide to our famiEes are to
e n su re p a re n ts have th e
skiUs, and can prove they are
meeting the children’s basic
needs.
I also work closely with
the CPS speciaEsts in provid
ing administration assistance
with all the paperwork, such
as completing cEent monthly
reports, cEent service plans, in
home service reports, weekly
reports, and other filings.
My job is a continuing
growing field, and is an op
portunity for m e to get to
know my com m unity, the
people on a professional and
personal note., to ensure the
famiEes are getting services
from CPS, and for the par
e n ts to w o rk to w ard s o r)
maintaining custody o f their
children.
