O’Neal Wine & Cheese
On Thursday, October 1, 2009, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA) of Jefferson County held a Wine & Cheese gathering from 5 – 7 PM at the home of Joy and Emmet O’Neal in Mountain Brook, AL. Special guest speakers included Juvenile Court Judges Jill Ganus, Alan Summers, retired Judge Vincent Schilleci and Court Referee C.H. Brantley.
The purpose of the Wine & Cheese gathering was to begin to educate people as to 1) CASA’s mission and 2) non-profit status. Guests were updated as to the financial status of the organization based on the Jefferson County Commission’s budget crisis.
Non-Profit Status Received
Jefferson County CASA is now officially a non-profit due to the hard work of the steering committee and board. Rene Williams, Suzanne Ashe, and Korhan Altiparmak put in substantial efforts to make this happen. This is the first step for Jefferson County CASA to be able to grow and help more children. Donations are now tax deductible.
