Young Artist Donates to CRS
Keira Scott knew she wanted to do something to support people who were finding themselves out of work during the first months of the Covid pandemic. She decided to use her love of painting watercolors to raise money for CRS! She sold beautiful prints for $20 each.
Thank you Keira, we are so grateful for your support!

CHARITY BALL NEWS
Due to the uncertainties of planning an event during a global pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to change the 2021 Charity Ball to a virtual event. While we will miss gathering with you in person to celebrate CRS and all of the good things we do in our community, we need to make the health and safety of our guests, staff and volunteers our top priority.
The Charity Ball committee will be meeting soon to begin planning a truly special virtual event. Mark your calendar for Saturday, January 30, 2021 and watch for exciting details to follow!
