Cetronia Chronicle
April 2023 | Issue #34
Greetings!

I hope you are enjoying more daylight and getting out more for some warmer air. Spring is our time to showcase our Joint Operations Center facility with our main fundraiser of the year. Casino Night on Broadway is taking place at our main facility on Friday, April 28 from 5 - 9 p.m. Tickets to the event are $85 per person which includes "Cetronia Cash" for gaming tables, one beverage ticket, dinner & dessert buffet, live music, DJ, and a strolling card magician. You'll also be able to bid on silent auction items and take a chance on raffle items.

Our goal for the evening is to raise $55,000 and we would not be able to do it without the generous help of our sponsors (see below).

Won't you please help by supporting our lifesaving mission? Purchase tickets, become a sponsor or donate an item at the links below.

I'd also like to share our 2022 Community Service Report. Investing in our infrastructure and our associates were most important to me. We had so many positive initiatives throughout the year and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Send me a message to mateffr@cetronia.org.
Stay well,

Robert F. Mateff Sr.
Chief Executive Officer

We'd like to thank our sponsors for the evening:
Jay H. Gilbert & Family
