Saturday, July 24th saw the Washoe CASA Foundation at the Northern Nevada Pride Festival and Community Parade. Thanks to everyone who made the day so wonderful. The Pride Staff was so organized and helpful. The Parade Route down Virginia Street was lined with an enthusiastic, cheering audience. Many people stopped by our booth at Wingfield Park to learn about the mission of CASA and to pick up a Pride Lip Balm. Foundation members, Jo Anne Gonzalez, Susan Nissenbaum, Ed Gurowitz, Jodie Black and Kendra Bertchsy were on hand to help. Our intern, Sven Peterson was invaluable. And a few Kappa Alpha Theta gals came by to give us a smile. Thank you all and we look forward to next year's parade!!
