RECENT EVENTS (2008)
Swearing-In Ceremony , 1-30-08
Contributing Writer: Ava A.
On January 30th, 2008, five (5) new CASA volunteers were sworn in at the
Washtenaw County Juvenile Court by Referee Gail A.
Sara B., Diana
C., Janice G., Sondra S., and Shelley S. took their oaths to carry out the
duties of a CASA volunteer to the best of their ability, and received their
training certificates and CASA pins.
Several experienced volunteers
joined the celebration, along with a couple of family members, Nikki H. (Friends
of CASA Development Director), Ava A. (CASA Coordinator), and Deborah S.
(Supervisor of the CASA Program at the Court).
The new volunteers shared
their reasons for becoming child advocates, and cake and coffee were enjoyed by
all.

CASA Holiday Party 12-20-07
Contributing Writer: Nancy Kelley
An energetic and cheerful group of CASA volunteers, Friends of CASA board members, Washtenaw County CASA supervisors and supporters gathered to share some holiday cheer and exchange some very interesting gifts! Yummy home-cooked cookies were only topped by the "re-gifted" items distributed through the white elephant gift exchange.
All started calmly until the "Winter Cactus" potted plant was opened -
a real treasure - which, after receiving many "oohs and aaahhhs" was
stolen/exchanged several times until the final gift was gifted. I
believe the real treasure of the evening had to be a "re-gifted" pair
of earings that blinked and sparkled and required batteries!
The evening proved to be a great opportunity for a group of
people who share a strong passion for serving the foster children of
Washtenaw County to share some time together, get to know one another
and support our common cause. I'm already looking forward to the 2008 CASA Holiday White Elephant Gift Exchange!

Rock the CASA 11-02-07
3rd Annual Rock the CASA was a great success!
An enthusiastic audience of kids, students and supporters were treated to a high energy show of dance and music, with performances by Comco, Alex Winston, The Friars, Amazin’ Blue, Encore, Dadence, Fundition, The Great Divide and Farewell Republic. Not only was it a great night, but we raised nearly $4000 to help improve the lives of abused and neglected children in Washtenaw County!
Our thanks to all of our entertainers, everyone who attended and especially our friends, the Thetas! Mark your calendars for this great event next November!
