We are so lucky to get a chance to be a part of this wonderful group of professionals. The conference gave us all a chance to visit and learn from each other and our presenters. We left feeling inspired to strive to help even more children in foster care.

Thanks to all of our helpers from Friday evening's 2019 Cheers for CASA wine & beer tasting event. 

Thank you to everyone who attended CASA Connection's 2019 Cheers for CASA wine & beer tasting fundraiser held Friday, March 29. Despite forecasts of rain/sleet/snow Mother Nature kept it at bay so everyone could come out and enjoy the evening. The event was held at Henry on 11th which is a building full of history in downtown Columbus.

Guests enjoyed samples of various red and white wines, white sangria & beers provided by Granite City Brewery, Upstream Brewing Company and Gottberg Brewery. Along with the beverages appetizers such as smoked salmon, cheeses, meatballs and small desserts including raspberry mousse were included. Everyone who attended seemed to have a good time and declared it a hit and something to look forward to next year.
