by Allison Vaughn, Communications Chair

If you’ve ever attended a CAS meeting, you know you’ll get a small bite to eat afterwards so you can connect with other members and guests. This doesn’t just happen organically. We plan out and invite members to serve as the snack provider for each meeting. We need an organizer for this important job! Usually all it takes is a gentle reminder a few days before the meeting that said person signed up for snacks at the next meeting. We had a wonderful Social Chair with Delores Clark, who sadly left us not too long ago. This position has been essentially vacant for a few years. If you’re interested in stepping up for this important role with CAS, feel free to contact Lottie Bushmann at lottie.bushmann@gmail.com. We would love to get this position secured before our first meetings in the fall! You can be creative! My partner and I usually bring Mardi Gras snacks around March. Pumpkin cookies and Banana Bread for November? Fresh fruit, a dish of nuts? Nothing elaborate, we just definitely want to make sure we have snacks so we can continue the conversation after the meeting!
