Yellowstone CASA Raises
$10,000 at Garden Party

Even when Montanans are feeling the pinch of the economic climate, Yellowstone CASA in Billings was able to raise a record $10,000 this year at their annual Garden Party. The party was held at DanWalt Gardens in Billings (for pictures of the garden follow the link). Among garden tours and a cheesecake soiree, both a live and silent auction were held with donations from over 70 local vendors and organizations.

CASA-CAN Hosts a
Stay-at-Home Garden Party

Great Falls' CASA-CAN is hosting a different kind of Garden Party than Yellowstone CASA. Instead, CASA-CAN has sent out 1400 invitations, packets of Montana wildflowers included, to encourage invitees to send in "what you would normally spend on a ticket to a formal fundraiser. Then the evening's yours to spend as you like." CASA-CAN expects to have a total fundraiser dollar amount within the next few weeks.

CASA of Missoula Welcomes New Executive Director

CASA of Missoula Executive Director Lanette Diaz.

LaNette Diaz is the new executive director of CASA of Missoula, following the departure of Dave McAlpin. Dave has accepted the position as director of the Montana Crime Laboratory in Missoula, after recently completing his second term as a legislator in the Montana House.

LaNette graduated with both a B.A. and M.A. in Social work from the University of Montana. She has worked in the foster care system in Billings, Spokane and Missoula. Most recently, she helped develop housing for low income families and was involved in neighborhood revitalization for low income neighborhoods in Billings and for all neighborhoods in Missoula.

A former Americorp VISTA, LaNette also trains new VISTAs and their supervisors at the annual Community Building Institute.

"After my first week on the job, I am taking a proactive approach at understanding the Missoula organization's financial structure, volunteer structure and the way our program operates locally, works with CASA Montana and with other local groups," LaNette said.
