“TAKE ME TO THE MARDI GRAS” MOUNTAIN MASQUERADE - by Erin Jeziorski

Save the Date in Support of an Amazing Organization! Enjoy an evening of dinner, live music, dancing and fun! Attend NWRM CASAs (Northwest Rocky Mountain Court Appointed Special Advocates) 7^th annual fundraising event being held the evening of Friday, February 5^th at the Devils Thumb Ranch High Lonesome Barn in Tabernash. Why support CASA? CASA serves abused and neglected children by providing trained volunteers to advocate on their behalf in court and to help assure the childs emotional, physical, educational, spiritual, social, and mental health needs are being met by meeting with the child regularly, as well as gathering information from adults and professionals in the childs life. Research has shown that children with a CASA volunteer are less likely to be re-abused, more likely to graduate from high school, and are placed more quickly in a safe and permanent home. Individual tickets for this event are $125 each or two for $230. They will go on sale in January.
