Brighton Council promotes CASA volunteerism at Light of Hope luncheon

The Brighton City Council meeting held on March 18, 2025, began with a heartfelt address highlighting the impact of local advocacy programs. A representative shared that last year, 52 children were served through their initiatives, emphasizing the importance of community involvement. They encouraged residents to consider becoming CASA volunteers and invited them to the upcoming Light of Hope luncheon on April 25, where stories of advocacy and impact over the past 25 years will be shared. The city of Brighton was acknowledged as a sponsor of this event, showcasing the partnership between the council and local organizations.

Following this, the meeting transitioned to the public comment section, where Tom Lampeau addressed the council. He opened with a light-hearted reference to March Madness, before leading a prayer for the city of Brighton. Lampeau's prayer focused on seeking guidance and peace for the community, particularly for the children, whom he described as a precious gift. He referenced various biblical passages to underscore his message of hope and support for families.

The meeting concluded after Lampeau's remarks, with no further public comments or agenda items discussed. The council's commitment to community welfare and the spiritual upliftment of its residents were central themes of the evening.
