Each month, CASA of East Tennessee shines a spotlight on a particular volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their service of Knox County children. This month, we would like to offer a round of applause to Kellie Stines!
Kellie told us about the personal connections in her life that drew her to service with CASA, "My sister and brother-in-law were Foster Parents (and now adopted parents) to two amazing girls that had been removed from the home for neglect and being born drug addicted. I knew then I wanted to find a way to help other children in similar situations."
Kellie said she feels like she is making a difference and enjoys having the opportunity to meet other fabulous volunteers.
Kellie is an avid reader who enjoys baking (and eating, too) and loves traveling with her husband. Kellie and her husband moved to Knoxville in 2002. They reside with their rescue dog, Lulu, who Kellie says has been enjoying Kellie's 2021 retirement even more than Kellie herself.
Kellie looks forward to traveling to Canada in June for her son's wedding, along with travel to Alaska later in the year.
We are so grateful for you Kellie!
